Don’t ask for patience or peace unless you want many chances to be peaceful under duress

You know, don’t you, that when you pray for some issue to be taken from you, that means you are asking for that issue to come up in front of you over and over, giving you many chances to react to it differently.  Patience, for instance, or peace.  Ask for patience or peace and see how many aggravating things begin showing up. Each time you react to it differently, it dispels it a little bit more. That’s how that works.  Ok, as you were.
