You got it. It's our human nature to jump on emotional power. We tend to jump rather than wait upon the Lord. Abram and Sarai, David ... Peter, me ... we are prone to jump in an try to do it for God when it is He who will do by using us so we are taught to wait. Gene Scott use to teach the ABCs of faith: Action, based upon Belief, sustained by Confidence as the proper way faith brings about action, and he would relate these to will (Action), mind (Belief), and emotion (Confidence). Patience is sort of like the 'get the tank full' for action phase, but we tend to leap before well supplied.

Look at what it says in Acts. Jesus told them to go to Jerusalem and WAIT until the Holy Spirit comes upon them. They didn’t wait.
