For example: Look at what happened to Sarah when she became impatient with the fact that she had not conceived, even though the Lord had made her a promise. She implored her husband to conceive a child through her servant. That child, and his seed, have continued driving a wedge between the seed of Sarah and Abraham ever since.
May God help us all to remember that taking things into our own hands is a very dangerous thing.

Amen! You are reminding me of Moses and how he hit the rock instead of speaking to it, like God had instructed him. Impatience with God's plans and the people we deal with involved in those plans.
