Patience

Psalms 37:7
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Andrew Murray says that impatience is not really an impatience with ourselves or with others but that all impatience is really an impatience with God. Impatience reveals that we do not truly trust the Lord.

Patient waiting on the Lord is a key to rest and inheritance in the Land God has for us. Patience is resting in God. Patience is trusting that God is all powerful, alive and at work in our world. We fail to see the importance of Philippians for, "be careful for nothing" but it can be true of us if and only if we trust the Lord and wait patiently on Him.
