Failing at patience

I have been praying again for patience. Well I was presented multiple opportunities this morning while I was out and about as well as when I went out for lunch.  I must say I failed miserably.  Why?  Glad you asked.

I am not sure.  Where I am, they drive awful and that is my biggest issue.  They do not look before they merge into your lane, they think that because they give a signal that gives them the right to come into the lane and space you are already occupying, they wait until the absolute last second to come over to exit or turn.  So with all of that, whose fault is it that I failed at patience?  Mine.

I know some of it is being tired.  I think I will sleep in, but wake up at 6:30AM even on my days off and it does not matter when I went to bed.  I am convinced that when I do not get enough sleep, I am more susceptible to being impatient and irritable.

What can I do?  Well I am going to continue to pray, but I will pray to fix those things such as sleep for myself and to not let others when they do what I think is something dumb  affect my attitude.  As I figure things out I will continue to ask God for help.

Hopefully, if you have prayed for patience, you had better success than I.  If not, then I urge you to ask God for help as well.
