I'm a Pastor's Daughter

by Sarah
(Guyana )

I'm a pastor's daughter and I find myself feeling depressed a lot since everyone sets unreal expectations for me and I am constantly bombarded by members of my church for minor stuff. For example, some people think my outfit is inappropriate. I get really annoyed and often feel like just "chucking it" and leaving everything. Could you give me some advice on how to deal with these situations.... Thank You !

Don't Do this On Your Own
by: My Pastor Editor

My heart breaks for you when I hear what you are going through. There are no perfect solutions, but let me offer a couple ideas.

1) Talk to your parents. Tell them what is going on. They may be able to give you some help.

2) Pray for each person who is criticizing you. Pray that God would help you see them through His eyes.

3) Develop a few basic responses to people's comments. You might say something like, "I'm sorry this offends you. It wasn't my intention to be offensive." Or, if someone continues to make critical comments you could say, "I'm sorry that I offended you. I'll talk to my parents about what you've said and seek their advice on this."

4) In everything, respond with grace and humility. That, more than anything else, will silence many of your critics.
