(Spirit being speaking: ) Patience, m’lady, and we’ll get there. It’s not patience unless it’s tried. Unless it’s a battle to wait. If you feel nothing while you are waiting and waiting for something—because you have plenty that is keeping you joyfully occupied—it’s not a “test of patience”. That only starts when you start to feel the twinge of waiting.
I’m here to steady you. I know you feel like flying, screaming, running, anything to get past the now—at least at times that is what it can feel like when the heat is on. And it’s meant to be hard, or it wouldn’t be a test.
So what is your part in the “waiting and learning to have patience”? To “wait on the Lord” –that is to wait on, or serve the Lord. Simple: just keep doing what He’s asked you to do. He’s not asking you to feel gleefully glad every second, but yes, to praise with every breath. That’s an action you can do, even if you are hit with hard feelings and the waiting for whatever is to come next seems to be taking a painfully long time. Or when you are simply waiting to find out more information on what is going on and why.
When you pass these tests of patience, then I too am rewarded, and it’s a good reward too. First of all, I had to learn the lessons myself, then I could be recruited to help you in your times of “waiting and learning patience”. Then we’ll all share in Heaven’s treats that have been and are continuing to be stocked up. 
And I’ll tell you most of the “spoils of war” that we get to share are what?
Check out Psalm 2 (v.8). What does the Son of God get? –People! So “rewards” in many cases mean people, souls. 
And what that means, and why it’s going to be ecstatic to get “great rewards” and have lots of souls to join with, well, that is something you’ll need to wait to find out. But let’s just get through the now time of waiting. Waiting for what? Maybe waiting for the loneliness to subside. Or waiting for the chance to at last get a project finished that has long been on your heart to complete. 
Just snuggle close to Jesus and His love will make the time fly by faster. Most of the time when things are in the “painful” part of the patience lessons, it’s more love that is needed, for and from the Saviour. For when you are topped up, then your motor runs more smoothly. 
You need the bumpy times, as well as the fast moving times. Both aid you in some way.
