Patience isn’t passive. It’s an active trust in God’s timing.

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. - Romans 8:18

Waiting isn’t lack.
