Patience is the ability to stand fast on the Word of God. It would not go to work unless you let it go to work. It is wrong to think that patience will go to work for us without our help.
In the first place, James says, "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God" (James 1:13). And in the second place, that trial is not going to make your faith stronger. In fact, it will destroy it if you will let it.
James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
