Thwarted

You were nearly there and something stopped you.

Psalm 137 · By the Rivers of Babylon

“By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.”Psalm 137:1 · BSB

More psalms for when you feel thwarted

Thwarted sits in the Comfort psalms — 60 of the 150 in all. See every one.

Someone in the Bible felt this too

Jonah & the FishBook of JonahJonah ends up furious that God was merciful — and God argues it out with him instead of shutting him up. Anger taken seriously.
Job, a Righteous ManBook of JobJob is angry at God and says it to His face, and it is Job, not his careful friends, who is told he spoke rightly.
