He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. – Psalm 62:6-8
God doesn’t give salvation, strength, refuge, or anything else, as if those were things he provides, he is those things in the lives of those who have him.
This is a concept we must grasp — He is what we need. Instead of asking him to give patience, grace, healing, protection, strength, or any thing else — ask him to be your patience, grace, healing, protection, etc.
His gift is himself and he is enough.
