Do you ever feel like the person who prayed, "God, give me patience, and give it to me right now"?  You may feel like that at the present moment.  You have been facing a particular situation or irritation day after day, hour after hour, and you feel like you cannot stand it another day.  You are thinking, "I'm up to my chin and I just can't take more of this."  It could be your husband or your wife, possibly the person you work with.  It could be your teenager, or if you are a teenager, it may be your mom or dad! There are times which confront us all when we feel our ire building, and we know that we have reached the danger zone of what we can handle.  It's the red alert.
