I would say, yes, pray for patience, but not with the perspective of: oh gosh, I don't want to pray for patience, because then I'm going to. Situations come where they, where it's needed and oftentimes that difficult person, this difficult circumstance, when walked out correctly in patience, actually becomes a door that opened to a shortcut.
