Psalm 118:5+8-9
Out of my distress I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free and in a large place. It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

Disappointment with one another is an inevitable part of human relationships. Within our relationships it is impossible to satisfy all the secret or open desires of our family members, friends or colleagues. Usually on one side of a relationship there is the person working hard not to disappoint and to please. On the other side of the relationship spectrum there is the one that makes others responsible for their needs, happiness, feelings or boredom with life. This is called “co-dependence” and if not dealt with will hinder all from growing and finding satisfaction in healthy relationships. When someone disappoints us first we must replace the false belief that “any person” (even if they are wonderful!) can meet all our desires with the Truth that God is the only One that can fill the deep needs of our heart. Next we must sense our disappointment in that person, talk to God about it and work on gradually letting it go and forgiving. Thus allowing room for God to give us emotional support and set us free from our anger and hurt as He transports us into a spiritually larger, satisfying place. Relationships can be rewarding when both sides are equally working on loving, caring and giving to one another. Yet even in the best relationships their will be disappointments so run to the Lord first and trust Him, He will not let us down but will turn our distress into peace and show us the direction to take in developing healthy relationships.
