frustration or faith
This is Websters def. of frustration. I also heard years ago that it is a form of anger. Anger comes sometimes when you are afraid of losing something.
: a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs.
I guess when I get frustrated about my children and how they appear not to be listening to me, or doing what I think they need to be doing, or not doing it like I told them to do it, I feel like I am losing control. The reality of the matter is, I've never been in control. God is in control. He lets me make decisions, yes, but some how,( don't ask me , I can't explain.) He is always in control and works all things out for His Glory and the ultimate good of all involved.
It really does happen by Faith, and that is strengthened by Him, through His Word. When we look at our circumstances and situations, and worry about them, we are focused on our selves, not Him and His plan. We do not have to know His plan,we just need to trust him.
Mar 11:22 And Jesus *answered saying to them, "Have faith in God.
Mar 11:23 "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him.
