Although frustration starts as an emotion you feel when things don’t go your way, it can quickly become a stressor,  leading to increases in your blood pressure and trigger

other health issues. 

Bible Base: Isaiah 40:27.

 O … how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O… how can you say God ignores your rights? Isaiah 40:27 NLT

The reason is that at the root of frustration are anger, annoyance, anxiety, lack of self confidence, tiredness, thwarted or unrealistic expectations, helplessness, hopelessness, etc.

If you place your confidence in humans, or the establishments run by humans, or rely on your spirituality, beauty, strength, intelligence, connections, age, race, status etc, then you have successfully set yourself up for  frustration.

Which will activate divine curses, and you’ll be vulnerable to demonization. Read Jeremiah 17:5-8

Hence the Bible says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life “ Proverbs 13:12. 

It matters what your expectations are, and on Whom you base these expectations.

If you base your hopes,  aspirations or expectations on God, do the following:

1). Encourage yourself in Who God is. 

“ Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding” Isaiah 40:28 NLT.

2).Exercise self control by controling your emotions (self control is a fruitful of the Holy Spirit, see Galatians 5:22-23) 

Which means you must refuse   to allow frustration, anger, annoyance  etc to get a hold of your mind! Reject it! 

If you give the devil a foothold, he will hold you strongly!

Therefore  you must be intentional to stop or cast down all negative thoughts, and fill your mind with the Word of God that will build up your faith, and strengthen you.

Remember that we overcome by the words of our testimony, and life and death is in the words you say!

3. Remind yourself always that there is a future and a reward for the child of God, and that your hope and expectations will not be cut off. (Proverbs 23:18).

4) Affirm also that God confirms our words and performs our counsel. And the hope of the righteous is gladness. Read Isaiah 46:26, Proverbs 10:28, 1 Peter 1:23.

5) Learn to wait on God – a ‘waiter serves’.  Keep busy knowing that your desires will be granted. Be joyful!

God has perfect timing – He will definitely show up.

And even if God modifies it or delays the manifestation, be rest assured that HE will surely bring your expectations to pass.

6) Learn the reasons and lessons in the troubles, problems or whatever the frustration is. 

The Bible in Hebrews 5:8 says that Jesus learned obedience by what He suffered.

 Don’t ’ waste the experience, so it won’t happen again.
