Overcoming Frustration and Anger
Advertisement
Frustration is the unpleasant experience when things are not working the way you want them to work. In some people, especially those that find it difficult not to blame others for their misfortune, frustration often leads to anger.
Circumstances that may trigger feelings that lead to anger include: problems that a specific person, such as a coworker, partner, friend, or family member, has caused. frustrating events, such as being stuck in a traffic jam or having a flight canceled. personal problems that cause extreme worry or ruminating.
It speaks to a sense of stagnation or helplessness, an inability to make things happen in the way that someone wants. Merriam-Webster defines being frustrated in part as “feeling discouragement, anger, and annoyance because of unresolved problems or unfulfilled goals, desires, or needs.”
In psychology, frustration is a common emotional response to opposition, related to anger, annoyance and disappointment. Frustration arises from the perceived resistance to the fulfillment of an individual’s will or goal and is likely to increase when a will or goal is denied or blocked.
Frustration comes after being unhappy, sometimes for a long time. Often, couples with the best intentions end up not being able to explain themselves to each other, or they won’t say what they really want to say, and as a result they feel tense, stressed and oftentimes frustrated.
The Bible says it’s ok to be angry. But it also advises us not to sin. (Psalm 4.4). Paul, writing to the Ephesians says “Therefore, put away lying.
Yes you may be frustrated with Him, blaming Him for your situation, but don’t quit talking to Him. That is the very thing that our enemy wants you to do. So don’t let your frustration with God hinder you from running to Him about so many other things in life.
What Paul says is, “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil.” What he is saying here is that we can get angry. Anger is a natural human emotion and not a bad one in and of itself. The problem is what we do with the anger when we do feel it.
