My realization from today’s struggle
When you hear hurtful words from others or see behavior you don’t like,
what God has told me is:
“That was that person’s best.”
Even if you don’t like it, you can’t change or control someone else’s actions, thoughts, or words. Just as you won’t always be pleasing to them, they won’t always be pleasing to you. We are not here to satisfy people, but to live in a way that brings glory to God.
So then, what is your best in this situation?
It’s not about falling into despair or discouragement.
Do your best in the reality you’re in.
Don’t keep pushing yourself alone toward something you already know won’t work.
Entrust what you cannot do to God and seek His will.
“God, through this difficulty, what do You want me to learn?”
He is not someone who brings disaster into your life.
He wants you to live, and He is the one who heals you.
He wants you to rely not on people, but on Him alone.
Don’t place expectations on people, and don’t be disappointed by them.
Even if everything doesn’t go the way you want,
perhaps He is trying to show you
what it is that He wants to accomplish in your life.

I agree with you sometimes we are faced with difficult people or situations not as punishment but as a learning experience. I feel I have gone thru this and came out on other side better able to handle people like that. Whenever we are facing difficulty that does not seem to end............ I ask for a new " teacher" of whatever lesson I am facing.
I cannot tell you how many have left my life replaced with another situation to learn in a clearer way.
Thanks for your comment! Your reply made me more to think about it and influenced me even in a way of hearing..! I think that “new teacher” came to me this time because I never realized of this ever before. I think I will ask for that every single time that I face difficulties and new problems in my life. I went through hard time especilly with my in laws as their attitude and sayings affected me in negative way. And realizing that I can’t change or fix them. I came across with these thoughts, they don’t have any bad intention but they are just like that. They were grown up and lived in a different way so there are facts that I can’t understand and absorb easily. I was in a stage mentally and physically scared and burnt out from them, but for now I set boundaries and getting support from my husband.
