Only My Spirit can help you grow in patience. Longsuffering is a fruit of My Spirit that develops as you encounter different trials. Longsuffering or patience also develops when you are forbearing with other people who are difficult.
During your lifetime, you will encounter many difficult people. When those difficult people do not agree with your plans, it is your responsibility to respond to them with gentleness and kindness instead of reacting to them. It is the root of pride that causes you to become angry and upset with those who do not want to institute your plans.
The way to pull down the stronghold of pride is simply to humble yourself and esteem the difficult person who does not agree with you higher than yourself. Then submit all of your plans to Me, and allow Me to speak to your heart what is My plan. Do not assume that your plan is always My plan.
It takes time alone with Me for Me to present My plans to you. I spent much time with My Father in prayer before I was able to determine what His plans were for Me.
