As a Christian athlete, you don’t have to pretend you’re not frustrated.You can be frustrated.You can be disappointed.You can feel the tension of wanting more.But you are not called to let the flesh respond for you.Your new nature only knows how to:show up,go hard,put in extra work,and do it all unto the Lord.So yes, feel what you feel.But don’t let a valid emotion create a fleshly response.That’s where the battle is:not always in the feeling,but in who gets the final say—flesh or spirit.
