The following is a short list of what I need every day: Prayer, Work and PATIENCE (in that order)!
The list of items, people and circumstances I am praying for is growing daily. What started with a few moments of passing prayer, and a short list, has now approached one hour with little end in sight.
Of course the natural part of my understanding says, “God…answer some of these requests quickly so I can shorten my list and get on with my day!” But I am beginning to understand, ever so slightly, the will of God through my present season. The “getting on with my day” cannot succeed without a proper balance of prayer, work and patience. As a result I am also learning a valuable life-long lesson I hope to pass along: Through personal circumstance, and times of waiting, God desires to teach us patience while also discipling us into a life of prayer. Said another way, Prayer requires patience and patience fuels prayer.
I suspect my prayer life will not lessen because the Lord also has to to teach me how to pray, work and wait. Therefore, “my day” will have to hold on a little longer as these conversations with God develop to such a feverish pitch that I desire to pray, work and wait longer than what I may hope to accomplish without Jesus.
The commentary and verses from James (read below) fill in the gaps of what encourages me; and I hope you will take some time to read them and get a farmers perspective. 
Every day a farmer works, checks and monitors his fields for signs of change. Yet, a farmers season of reaping is never overnight (even with Miracle Grow). Likewise, patience is never just sitting idly by…..but it is understanding after you have done all you know and are able to do….wait on the Lord and continue to pray. The challenge is sometimes we choose to not work hard enough, other times we are too impatient to wait for God and some of us forget to pray.
So it is my prayer the Holy Spirit will guide you toward a balance of prayer, work and patience. Once you discover what God is doing through your present season embrace the moment and don’t be afraid to commit to the process of being discipled by Him! – JOSHUA

Commentary Note from WW Wiersbe on Patience.
The patience of the poor (vv. 7–11).
James encourages these suffering Christians to get their eyes on the promise of Christ’s coming. The word “patient” (v. 8) does not mean that they were to sit idly by, doing nothing. Rather, the word carries the idea of endurance, bearing the burdens and fighting the battles until the Lord comes. He uses several illustrations to hammer home this lesson of patience.
(1) The farmer (vv. 7–8). The farmer plants the seed and prepares the soil but does not reap a crop immediately. God sends the rains to water the soil, and then comes the harvest. (The early rain came in October and November and the latter rain in April and May.) Even so, the Christian must be patient, knowing that “in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Gal. 6:9).
(2) The judge (v. 9). Apparently their trials had made some of the Christians critical, and complainers emerged in the church. James reminds them that they are not to judge; Christ, the Judge, is at the door! He hears what is said, and He will come quickly and make things right. Murmuring and complaining is a serious sin among God’s people. If we would all remember that Christ is coming, we would not complain and criticize so much.

7 “Brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord comes again. See how farmers wait for their precious crops to grow. They wait patiently for fall and spring rains. 8 You, too, must be patient. Don’t give up hope. The Lord will soon be here. 9 Brothers and sisters, stop complaining about each other, or you will be condemned. Realize that the judge is standing at the door. 10 Brothers and sisters, follow the example of the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. They were patient when they suffered unjustly. 11 We consider those who endure to be blessed. You have heard about Job’s endurance. You saw that the Lord ended Job’s suffering because the Lord is compassionate and merciful.”
