Patience?

Comment [2]: Right now the kicker is at 145
characters; I think it has to be cut off at 125. Im
playing with the idea of changing it to something
like, Sometimes life throws you for an unexpected
turnan answer is withheld or things fall apart.
Dont give up; maybe God just needs you to learn
patience. This would make it 126 characters.

Synopsis (291 words)

In our young-adult lives, we face a lot of course-changing life choices. Seeking answers from
Heavenly Father can become daunting when answers are delayed. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
[https://www.lds.org/church/leader/dieter-f-uchtdorf?lang=eng] speaks of the importance of
having patience even when things dont seem to be falling into place in his April 2010 General
Conference talk Continue in Patience. [https://www.lds.org/generalconference/2010/04/continue-in-patience]

Patience is healthy, but its a difficult attribute to develop. Usually patience comes slowly, even
painfully. Having patience is especially difficult in those times when we truly want something.
Putting our own feelingsthe desires of our hearts, those things we want with every fiber of our
beingon Gods pedestal is more than difficult; it can be tear-wrenchingly frustrating, heartwrenchingly painful. Yet putting everything at his feet and accepting the need for us to be patient
makes things work out the way they were meant to at the time they were meant to.

Yet patience does not mean giving up. In fact, it is more closely related to dedicating ourselves
to a purpose and promising ourselvesand Godthat we will not give up, that we will
persevere until the end, riding out whatever storms
[https://www.lds.org/music/text/hymns/master-the-tempest-is-raging?lang=eng] may come.
President Uchtdorf says, It means staying with something and doing all that we can. When
answers are being withheld, we can ease our fears as we try to understand that patience is an
important virtue that God wants us to develop. Realizing this creates understanding as we
recognize that things may still work out. Being patient blesses us and can actually lead to the
fulfillment of the very desires of our hearts; accepting Gods timing and doing our part to
continue moving forward will eventually lead us to that fulfillment.

When we actively practice patience, we show our Heavenly Father what things we deem
important enough to wait for. If something does not really matter, we will give up on it right
away if it does not work out effortlessly. If, however, something matters to us greatly, we will
continue forward, persisting in our efforts until at last it comes to pass. This persisting, this
persevering patience, makes us grow and become more like God. And that, in Gods plan, is one
of the greatest blessings of all.
