Where is the Divine in the Frustrations of Life?

I am clearly being tested. I have called Xfinity easily seven times in the last month and still have no WiFi in my new house. The thing is, some representatives say it is coming “today” and then it doesn’t come. Then they say there wasn’t an order. And on and on. 

I moved my furniture using movers who severely damaged two pieces and somewhat damaged two more. Though I have reported it 3 times, no one has gotten back to me. New chairs were delivered that look like a child did the upholstery. No response on how or when they will address it. Just “send more pictures.” A new bed was delivered today with a big piece gouged and broken off that wasn’t there when it was bought. There are more examples but you don’t want to hear!

It is discouraging to be told something that isn't true. To be assured someone will be careful but have them be destructive. For someone to break promises. Does that sound like something that has happened to you in a relationship?

So, I am trying to learn from these experiences — to reconfirm the importance of positive intent, honest character, extra caring effort, and patience in my own relationships. I am trying to find comfort knowing that the God of my understanding is not like what I have experienced recently with these mundane but annoying ventures. 

I am no angel. I am struggling with frustration and disappointment. I am also trying to learn.

How do you bring your spirituality into the everyday frustrations of your life? How do you rise above the mundane and aim to connect with that which is Good? How do you achieve and tap into internal peace?
