Ever have one of those moments where someone pushes your buttons, and you feel the heat rise in your chest?

It might be a coworker, a family member, a situation you can’t fix, or something completely unfair. Frustration happens to all of us, but Scripture shows us a better way to respond than lashing out or stuffing it down.

Today, Bart shares the powerful story of Jackie Robinson, who made history not just with his talent, but with his ability to bring his anger to God rather than retaliate on the field. His restraint helped change baseball, and his example can reshape how we respond when frustration hits.

Through Psalm 4:4–5, you’ll discover a simple, practical roadmap for handling irritation in a Christlike way: pause, reflect, bring your anger before the Lord, and trust Him to handle what you can’t.

Main Scripture:

Psalm 4:4-5 (NLT) – “Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust the LORD.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why frustration is more than an emotion, it’s a faith moment
• How the pause before reacting can change everything
• What to do with the anger you don’t know how to express
• How to trust God with what’s beyond your control

Today’s Challenge:

Identify one source of frustration in your life today.

Bring it honestly to the Lord, name it, breathe, and ask Him for the next wise step.

Then, trust Him with the outcome.
