Frustrated means feeling or expressing distress and annoyance especially because of the inability to change or achieve something. When you are frustrated in life, what do you do? Cuss someone out, yell and scream, try to get even, try to prove your point, demean the other person you are frustrated with? How do you handle frustration? Do you journal, until your frustrations are relieved? Do you talk to someone to help center yourself? Do you pray? Prayer is a good way to relieve frustration. James 1:19-20 reads, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to becomes angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Today, think before you speak, ask yourself would Jesus speak these words, are these words going to build up or tear down? And if you cannot control your words pray before you speak. But let’s be real, sometimes we just say things we shouldn’t, so apologize. It is the right thing to do. God Bless. Amen.
