Anne,
  A long time ago I prayed for patience too.  I did it out of defiance (boy was that smart huh?  :-\) for someone telling me that you should NEVER do that.  Ha, I did it anyway.  Um, maybe not one of my brightest moments but I would do it again because it has been working.  I can't say I'm there but I'm way more patient that I've ever been before.  In my experience, God has answered my prayer.. slowly  ;D.  Having to wait patiently to be taught patience...ironic huh?  It's a long hard road through some of the lessons.  God will get you there, but you have to be....patient... ;). 

As for feeling God's presence at all times, I personally don't believe I'll be granted that because I use that as "proof" that He is there and He loves me.  But faith means believing even when you can't see or feel His presence, knowing He's still there and still loves you when you feel nothing but empty and alone.  There are many times when I feel so close to Him I get lost in it and am barely aware of the world around me.  And those times I feel so much joy and love and so alive that I can barely contain it.  There are times when I can talk with Him and know that He is very present and is teaching me and telling me of His love for me and for those around me.  And there are those dark times when I struggle to pray, when I can't feel Him and it is so hard.  But, yet I love Him and know that He is teaching me to depend only on Him even when He doesn't make His presence so well known....increasing my faith to believe in Him separate and apart from any feeling of His presence.  In some ways, those times make me love Him even more than the times when He is filling me with such joy and the awareness of His presence.  It has given me much peace to know that His calm steadying love is always there, even in those times when I can't feel it but only can know it through faith.

Rest assured, God is with you and teaching you as you know.

Love in Christ,

mongoose

Mongoose,

  I know what it is to struggle with the "proof" thing.  I am a mathematics major and see everything either and or, or sometimes all at the same time or not at the same time.  Mathematics is somewhat inhibiting my faith, becuase it all turns into games of logic when I try to break it down.  I am learning somewhat how to relax in those quiet periods.  I guess, it is true, absence makes the heart grow fonder.   ;D

  Look forward to walking down this journey with you all.

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

Hi Anne  ;D
This might help,
This life we're living is a training ground for being Gods. I know its hard but think like God. Everything that happens right now is directed thought out and controlled by God. I think if we fix our minds on that it becomes effortless for us to understand Gods hand in everything. This is all a part of your growing nothing more nothing less. I'm finding that keeping my mind focused of looking for what God is trying to teach me then everything else is carnel.
I'm just trying to lift your thoughts up not put anyone down because if its happing its Gods will just stand back and watch God show you all the things he wants to teach you (or us)
God bless us all.
PS we're being tought how to jugde, rule, and to be Kings with Christ. This is what our life is about. To be like God
