I spelled out your character in detail
To the men and women you gave me.
They were yours in the first place;
Then you gave them to me...(John 17:6)


This expresses what should be the ultimate heart of shepherding when the spiritual leader gets frustrated with the direction of his church. The leader needs to remember that they are simply given to him by God. Any frustration that the leader feels should be that which he senses from the heart of God, and not his personal irritation or impatience.
