We've all been impatient for something, from small to large, for example, a little one is impatient to try to open a gift, a big one gets impatient because their annual vacations arrive.
But in the spiritual it is something more different if we take into account that we have a God who works in a PERFECT time.
Most of us long for our requests to be answered instantly and that everything we ask for will not take more than a day to receive it, but we forget that we have a God who knows how to work in a time. Kairos and not in one Cronos, is say that he knows exactly when and where he will respond to your requests, taking into account that such requests should be to his liking.
What does impatience mean?
Impatience. (From impatient lat.)
Why does Impatience occur?
The impatience is due to the lack of knowing how to wait in the Lord, many are impatient because they have not understood that God acts in his time, not ours and that for everything is under control, now we can see impatience in several spheres for example:
Impatience of Employment: Many do not find a job are frustrated and some in our country choose to leave and look for the much desired "American dream" without realizing many times that they are leaving their family and that long-awaited "American dream" It is not as easy to reach as you think.
Others on the other hand when not finding a job are impatient and at the first opportunity that appears regardless of the type of work they do, they accept it, without realizing that God wants for us a job where we do not neglect our personal relationship with Jesus.
Emotional Impatience: This kind of impatience is seen in two classes of people: First in the Twinkling that at a young age seek a courtship without caring what God really wants for their lives, which is knowing how to wait for the right person and put by God appear. Second, this kind of impatience also appears among people who did not find the right person in their youth and at an advanced age they are desperately searching with whom to settle their head, that is, because of their impatience they do not examine how God wants the person with whom the rest will pass. of his life, without realizing that it could be that he is about to make a very bad decision that will mark or mark him for life.
Spiritual impatience: This impatience is very common among the people of God, since many, not seeing an answer to their request, become impatient and choose to get away from the Lord, as if moving away from the Lord everything will be solved.
When God promises you something, do not doubt for a second that he will fulfill it, remember: God is not a man to lie or a son of man to repent.
Some people have been about to receive their response but because of the impatience that fills their lives they lose their reward by making decisions that instead of benefiting or blessing them, will lead to spiritual frustration.
The consequences of being impatient:
• Bad decisions.

• Consequences that will hurt you for many days, months, years or for a lifetime.
• Many forget God and return to wallow in the mud from where God had taken them.
• Frustrated Dreams and Soul Wounds as well as destroyed lives.
