The Stress of Relationships

3 Keys to Overcome relationship stress


1.Follow God's direction for your life
People around you that expect things from you that is not your or God's direction
You can't please everyone all the time
If you deviate from God's plan to follow peoples demands you will lose your way and lose your peace. John 18:36

People had demands of Jesus that were different that God's will
Sometimes we don't want the Jesus that has demands for us
Get Direction from God not man
"Stress comes from trying to please others, blessed comes from focusing on following God"
John 5:30, 8:29, Jesus would have never gone to the cross if he did what others wanted.
God is our Boss, Galations 1:10

2.Learn to deal with disappointment in Life
Stress when we have expectations of others
Jesus did not hate on those but prayed and loved
Don't rely on people for satisfaction, happieness, or signifigance.
Jesus never counted on man for happiness or peace.
Were blessed when we forgive and were set free.
Jesus wept over peoples bad conduct but didn't let their failure to put him under stress.
Luke 10:38-42, James 1:20
We are accountants (We keep records of all the people who offended us, wronged us) 1 Corinthians 13:5, 1 Peter 2:3
Who knows what will happen when you give grace

3.Remain devoted to God
We are blessed when we live by faith, Foresaking All I Trust Him
We are in God's hands, Everything in the world around us is insignificant
In his arms we will find rest in our weary soul.
