Frustration: What I've Learned

Treat every frustrating situation as a test from God – have patience and see each individual as someone God loves deeply, someone He wants to hold close. Remember that each child of God will meet Him one day and account for each of his or her actions.


Instead of feeling vengeful or wronged, see the situation as an opportunity to gain favor in God’s eyes and feel sympathetic for that person because he or she will one day have to account for his or her wrongdoing to the Lord.


Over time, doing this will soften your heart until it becomes natural to want to pray for your trespassers, rather than wanting to trespass against them in return. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, NOT AS THEY DO TO YOU.
