Dealing with Difficult People
"Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times.” — Psalm 106:3
Many of our trials in life are the result of other people. The failures, carelessness, ignorance, or sins of others affects us, and we understandably pray for God to change them. Even though we want others to change and treat us better, it's better for us to focus more on how we treat people than on how they treat us. Sometimes God uses the things about people that irritate us to change us. He makes us more tolerant and patient and enables us to love unconditionally. We can always pray for others, but we must also pray that God will help us with our reaction to others and enable us to respond to them in a way that brings glory to His name.
