When You Feel Let Down (Part 6)

When You Feel Let Down (Part 6)

If a person has a pattern of disappointing or betraying you, think about what you need to do to protect yourself. If you’ve spoken up clearly about the problem that exist between you and the person still doesn’t take responsibility or alter their behavior:-

-How can you best take care of yourself and maintain a Christian attitude? 

-Does it make sense to continue to invest in this person or to keep your relationship with them more business-like than personal? 

Decide if this is someone you still wantto invest in or whether your energy is better spent elsewhere. You may want to let the person know that you won’t tolerate repeated broken promises, lies, or disrespectful treatment. Let them know what the consequence will be if they continue to mistreat you or attack the church. Boundaries can help you feel emotionally safe, and they help restore your self-worth and self-respect.

Some final things to remember:

-When people let you down, learn to be your own cheerleader and best friend. 

-Accept and process your feelings, be kind to yourself, figure out how to get your needs met, speak up, or set boundaries if you need to. 

-Try to learn from the experience, and don’t let other people’s issues get you down. 

You have a choice about how to react, even if you didn’t choose the situation. God can help you through it all!
