Patient as a farmer
James 5:7–10 · King James Version
Read
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

James points to a farmer who waits through the seasons for the rain and the harvest. Believers are to be patient like that, steady their hearts, and stop grumbling at each other while they wait for the Lord.
Pray
Lord, give me a farmer's patience with what grows slowly. Keep me from grumbling at the people around me while I wait. Amen.
