We all have to deal with delays, inconveniences and people that are hard to get along with. We all encounter people who are rude, inconsiderate or annoying. And sometimes, it's not a stranger; it's somebody who is close to you. But Jesus said in John 14:27, "Stop allowing yourself to be upset and agitated." Notice, it's a choice. He didn't say, "I'll take away everything that will cause stress and frustration." No, He said it'll still be there, but if you have the right approach, it doesn't have to upset you.
