Faith is the road we travel to receive Grace, God provides grace to meet us where our need is. If we try to do things on our own without being open to receiving the Grace God has for us then it really does not matter how much faith we have we will not receive what we are asking for. The bible says that Grace is the power of God coming to us through our faith to meet our needs.
If we get frustrated it is because we are trying to make things happen on our own. It is not because we have no faith, it is because we have stopped there, just short of allowing His Grace to make the difference.
We get frustrated because we have plans for our lives and sometimes those plans don't work out as we thought they should. What we need to do is trust and rely on God's Grace. Because He knows what we are facing everyday, at work, at home, with our friends, our children, every step we take, in every situation. If we trust Him enough to allow Him to lead, then He will work out all the details and the end result will be better than what we could have imagined in the first place.
When we get into those situations where it is difficult to remember how to rely on His Grace, lets face it, we are human, so those situations come more often than we would like. See the frustration, stop, ask God, "God, please give me grace in this situation" ~I don't know about you, but this is difficult for me ~Then believe that God has heard your prayer and is answering it as you walk through the rest of your day. Leave it there at His feet, trust Him and he will give you the grace to survive any change that comes your way. LEAVE TRUST hhhmmmm even more difficult but necessary! I am working on these lessons and trying to do better every day.
