Separation Anxiety

I just read how Jesus was able to separate himself from people's expectations and live in obedience o the father. One of my weaknesses is that I have a weird need to be liked. Separating myself from people's expectations of me gives me anxiety. I know it's the right thing it do, but it really is hard for me. I don't want to disappoint anyone. I want to help everyone. 

I guess that is the point the author is trying to make here. I can't be Jesus, so I better act like him. My expectations need to come from the Father and not people. I need to pray. 

This story rattles me because I can connect with it is much. I need to be the leader God makes me it be. I need to stand up for Truth and not be washy washy. Lord help me. 

This is all based on the book the emotionally healthy church. Always remember the opening story. Listen and obey.
