00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,500
The dictionary defines frustration as “a 
feeling of anger or annoyance

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,400
caused by being unable to do something.”

3
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:14,900
It’s a feeling we’ve all felt before.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,400
We expect certain standards from people in 
our lives—

5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:21,900
and when those standards aren’t met, we get 
angry.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,400
Pastor Whit George noted that it’s okay to 
be frustrated in relationships;

7
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:32,100
however, we must not sit and stew in those 
annoyances.

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,500
If you allow them to, frustrations can outweigh 
good things—

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,600
and that’s what leads to bitterness.

10
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:43,500
Today, I challenge you to work hard to keep 
your heart

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,700
from reaching that place of animosity. It 
won’t be easy,

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,900
but it is possible—

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,600
and a must for successful relationships.
