Calming Frustrations

Grumbling, complaining and worrying are the works of the enemy. God can and will do all things for those that uphold his commands - those that choose to be made whole in Jesus. When we are baptized into a new life, in this "new," we must give it all to God. No matter how tough, no matter the situation. God knows - Jesus is your redeemer - give in to his will in all things.

To not complain in any situation is to know that God is in you completely. It is not human nature to easily let go of agitation. This is why he calls you to him - to focus your unsettled mind on the one that will calm you. He is the one that brings peace. It is a faithful act to not worry in the Lord - in this faith, be patiently persistent in prayer and meditation of the Lord. The Holy Spirit provides the ability to release the agitation in communion with the Lord. Focus on him - not the agitation and the Spirit will work in you to release and change your disposition. This change from God will be a permanent mold as you faithfully walk with Jesus.
