Fustrations

"Tell God your frustrations. Cry out to Him. He is never surprised or upset by your anger, hurt, insecurity, or any other emotions. So tell him exactly how you feel. Most (unhappiness, negative emotions) is rooted in unmet needs. Some of these needs can only be met by God, When you expect anyone - a friend, spouse, boss , or family member - to meet a need that only God can fulfill, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and bitterness. No one can meet all of your need except God.

You want something but don't get it..You do not have, because you do not ask God. James 4:2

Instead of looking to God, we look to others to make us happy and then get angry when they fail us. God says:'Why don't you come to me first?'"


I was doing my usual quiet time with this book, The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I'm on the 20th day now, (the whole book is designed to be read for 40 days non stop) This whole article jumped out. and I felt, in many ways, it applies (alot to me!!) and I am sure to so many people out there as well. I wish that if you are reading, this passage will speak to your heart as much as it speaks to me.
