The Definition Please

frus·trate (frŭs'trāt')

1. To prevent from accomplishing a purpose or fulfilling a desire; thwart:

2.To cause feelings of discouragement or bafflement in.

3.To make ineffectual or invalid; nullify.

What do you do when you're frustrated? There are times in my day when I wish I was still a kid and could stomp the floor and slam my door. That people or circumstances make me want to pull my hair out.

Then I remember I'm a grown-up. Which looked way cooler and more fun when I was still a kid. I can't throw a fit anymore. But what can I do? Desire what God wants for me. I've been working on my memory verses and this week's hits home.

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
James 1:19-20
