Layton Talbert's comment in his book Beyond Suffering: Discovering the Message of Job (a book I highly recommend) was helpful: "This Biblical virtue is not a sappy, carefree cheeriness. It is a manly word that means to ‘remain under’ whatever pressure or pain one is presently enduring from the hand of God. Patience is fortitude under adversity. Job struggled to maintain his integrity and his faith under great duress."
