One of the things I learned pretty early on when learning about emotional health and how mine needed to change was to stop avoiding the difficult conversations.
Are you avoiding dealing with someone or something in your life that you know is a problem? Stop and think about why you are avoiding it. The problem is not going to go away if you keep avoiding it, it will likely get worse.
Choose to take the problem to God in prayer. Ask Him for wisdom in how and when to talk to the other person. Ask God to go before you and soften the person's heart. Sometimes the situations we are avoiding because we dread the outcomes end up being no big deal after all. On those occasions where they are still difficult to work through, at least you will be calm and thoughtful because you asked God for peace in the middle of the storm.
Those storms of life will keep coming, so learn to trust in the One who knows the end - and learn to dance in the storm. Open your heart, your hands, and your life, and learn to drink in the refreshing rain that comes with the storm.
