It's a standard joke in my parish: It's dangerous to pray for virtues: God will grant your prayer.

And how does He grant our prayers for patience? By giving us lots of opportunities to practice it.

And YES! He has given us a new 'nature', a new self, which is oriented toward Him and sustained by Him. So, as I may have said earlier, if we stumble forward, at least we're stumbling in the right direction.

Thanks for this, boatbums.

Stumbling in the right direction.
