My Flesh Became Annoyed

"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice." Ephesians 4:31

Yesterday was one of those days. I had to deal with this person, and her attitude was just not a pleasant one. She had no desire to hear my complaint. She did not care about my complaint. She did not want to help me with my complaint. My flesh became annoyed. I'm thinking to myself you are going to help me too! The more I tried to be nice, the more she tried not to be. After a few minutes of getting nowhere, and my flesh becoming more annoyed, I decided to stop trying and move on. I said, "Have a blessed day!" Nope! Not going to happen in her lifetime!  It was like talking to the hand cause the face was definitely not looking.

Have you ever had one of those days? The spirit was willing to be strong, but the flesh was weak. It's hard, isn't it? We have to be so careful when our flesh becomes annoyed or aggravated because it can and will overpower our spirit. We have to walk away, hang up the phone, mumble to ourselves, and pray for strength. We ask God to help us with whatever problem we have and for strength for our weakness. He hears our prayers and will answer according to His will.  John 14:13 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."

As believers, we all struggle. We have people we have to deal with, the demands of life we have to deal with, things we have to deal with, but as long as we are walking and talking with God, He will give us the strength we need to face whatever or whomever.

Love in Christ,
Tera
