luke-warm
I'm frustrated. My frustration is almost leading to anger and that probably isn't the best response.So many men and women who claim the name of Christ yet don't love Him, don't follow after Him with every breath in them, and certainly don't obey Him. This bothers me... incredibly. I'm finding I don't know the right words to say, the right things to pray, and how to control my rising anger and disgust.
Just some venting.

And sometimes I find it's best to just pray in the Spirit for them (whoever "them" is!). I know His grace and mercy isn't undone or frustrated with anyone... I know He usually calls people higher rather than bringing the hammer down. So when I feel that I just can't mirror that, I simply bypass words and go right to the Spirit; I think it's probably a lot more effective and definitely more Godly. :)
How are you feeling these days?-

I'm with you. Its especailly hard when you feel like the more compassionate, understanding people are unsaved. What is up with that!? I'm encountering it a ton lately. Maybe I just don't spend enough time with Christians.
