What is the most common reason we get frustrated with God? Don't act like it doesn't happen. If someone claims they have never been frustrated with God, they are likely in denial. It is OK to admit frustration with God. It is not that he deserves our frustration, but it is a fact of life that we are indeed frustrated with him at times. What is the most common reason though? I have narrowed the answer to this question down to two common reasons: timing and lack of control.
Often in circumstances than are less than ideal, we are frustrated with God because we are not in control. The truth is that we are never in control so we must be very careful not to think we are in times when things are in our favor because it is when things are not in our favor that we are frustrated with God.
The other reason is timing. This may be linked to control because when things do not happen in our time, it upsets us. We must keep in mind, however, that God does not work in our time but in his own time, which is the best time.
Let us learn to trust God and his control and timing. This will save us much frustration.
