Frustration and Faith

I find that frustration comes from a lack of faith. Is your frustration caused by your lack of faith in yourself to solve the problem correctly, that God will let the situation ever end, or in those around you to handle their situation? If your frustration stems from your lack of faith in yourself, because you don't know how to handle daily parenting situations, that's OK. Admitting it is the first step. Go to the Lord in prayer to find the best solution for you. Sometimes God tells me which type of book to buy during my evening prayers. I recommend the "Love and Logic" techniques because they are easy and can be applied in so many situations! If that's not for you, please find something else that brings calm to your reaction. Buy a book or take a workshop. Have faith that God will allow your situation to end. If you are dealing with something life-threatening, God will be with you every step of the way. Have faith in your children, your husband, and those around you. They can handle it! Your job is to do God's will in your life. As a parent, you are to teach your children to clean up their own messes. Take a deep breath! It's just spilled milk!
