Impatience is a strong sense of ________________________ at the (usually, but not always) unintentional faults and failures of others. 3. The key to understanding this type of impatience is that it is a response to the usually ________________________________ actions of others. 4. The actual cause for impatience is ___________________ inside our heart, in our attitude of insisting that others around us _____________________ to our expectations. 5. The important thing is to recognize that, yes, I get impatient at others. I need to repent of my impatience, because it is _________. 6. By reasonable inference, we can say that _____________________, (the opposite of patience) is a sin to be put to death in our lives. 7. Defined, irritability describes the __________________________ of impatience, or the ease with which a person can become impatient over the _________________________ provocation. 8. So, if love covers a multitude of sins, how much more should love cover a multitude of acts that _______________________________ us? 9. May God help us be as _____________________ with ourselves over our own _______________ sins as we are with the _________ sins we condemn in others.
