Dear readers, can you provide me with advice on how to deal with intense frustration? Not over one particular issue or even in one area but many different ones spanning multiple aspects of my life. I suppose the ultimate answer is patience. The Bible speaks of having patience through times of trial. If you have other suggestions or things that work for you, though, I’d like to hear them.

I think I’d agree that the ultimate answer is patience. For me, frustration is also a result, sometimes, of confusing the things over which I have control. I like the serenity prayer (“grant me the serenity to accept the things I can’t change, courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference”) as a practice for dealing with these particular things/times. Patience is a part of that of course, but there is also the desire for wisdom.

Kevin, agreed. I don’t handle that whole “lack of control” thing very well,
obviously. And at the same time I realize that there is very little over
which I truly have any control…

Hebrews 10:35-36 (KJV)
35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
36For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Frustration can be a lack of knowing what your goals are. If you believe that you can do God's will in all circumstances – even in tribulations – being frustrated means that you need to pay attention to where God is trying to lead. Illness, unemployment and rebellious children are opportunities to demonstrate Christian character – thus doing God's will.
