5 Things To Do When Someone's Frustrated You

1. Go to God. Take your heart to Him and tell Him how you feel. Then let it go, place it at His feet and give room for Him to work in your heart and thiers. Yield to Him; rely on His strength, clinging desperately to Him.
 
2. Pray for them... pray the hardest things for your little heart to pray... for God to bless them.

3. Let go. Set your heart on not getting offended at the little things. It is your glory to overlook an offense.

5. Communicate. SAD/MAD- Share Motives, Ask Questions, Don't Assume.
