The Importance Of These Verses
Frustration is a horrible emotion to have to deal with in life as it can often lead to depression and anxiety. Therefore, trying your very best to avoid frustration affecting your mood is essential, and with the help of the Bible, this can be achieved.
Yes, life might seem frustrating and painful at times, but it’s our responsibility to trust in God and have faith that he’ll help us to fight and overcome whatever battles we may come across.
Just take the quote from Matthew 11:28-29 for example:
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
This quote explains how many of us try to carry a heavy burden of responsibility around by ourselves which can often lead to frustration and feelings of depression.
However, with the help of the Almighty God, we can remove the load off of our shoulders and allow Him to help deal with the frustrations of life. What’s more, we can also learn from Him due to the fact that he’s “lowly in heart” and wants us to find rest in Him.

I have been a devout Christian since I was a little girl, so I trust my knowledge can help more people learn and perhaps even join the religion that is Christianity.
In 2011, 75% of Americans identified as Christian. However, in 2021, that number dropped to 63%. That is a 12% decrease, and that trend is likely to continue. If more people aren’t informed about Christianity, I fear that we will suffer from fewer members and we will become a forgotten religion.
My hopes for this website are for it to be a useful resource where you can get all of your supplementary knowledge on Christianity in one place. Of course, your religion leader will be able to answer most of your questions, but when they’re not available, I’m here for you.
