With the scenario I'm talking about it's a person I want to change and how I relate to them. Although In general I would rather a spiritual changeAre you looking for spiritual change or material change?
How great is the necessity to work things out with this person? Is this a spouse? Someone you are deeply in love with? Your boss at work? A sibling?With the scenario I'm talking about it's a person I want to change and how I relate to them. Although In general I would rather a spiritual change
According to the old testament What should a person do when they want something in their life to change and it seems unlikely to happen?
in general i would like my circumstances to change.but in regards to this post theres a person i really care about and theyre very immature and quite wordly and i want them to change their behaviour.i no i cant force anyone to do anything and have very little conrol over the scenarioThat depends on if it is possible to change it. Are you waiting for something to happen.....or hoping for something to happen....or can you actively do something to make it happen? Without details it isn't possible to offer advice.

thank you for your advice.deep down i know you're right and its best to leave when we cant change an outcome.i hate to give up though lol...Sometimes there are other people who just don't respond positively to us. They don't like our personality, or they don't like how we look, or our religion, or they are just damaged or bad people.
Don't keep trying and trying. If you've sought advice and have made changes to yourself to address your part of the problem, and they are still being jerks, know when to cut them off.
thanks for you're advice.i know i have to curb my expectations because i don't want to be disappointed or depressed like you saidNo one can change another person.....you first have to understand that the only person you can change is yourself. But sometimes, by altering your own behavior, people close to you will respond by changing theirs. To set yourself up waiting for other people to change, disappointment is never far away. Being in a constant state of disappointment is a recipe for depression.
Expectations are awful things when they are never fulfilled.
Again, without knowing the details......for our own sanity, sometimes we either have to walk away from toxic people, or doom ourselves to living a less than satisfying life, trying to make them happy, when they are often not interested in making us happy. If this person is both "immature and worldly" (terms that you seem to indicate are not attractive to you) do you see these attributes changing any time soon?
Sounds like you have some decisions to make.
That's a pretty wide question. Unlikely could be a moment for God to show up or it could be something you shouldn't want.According to the old testament What should a person do when they want something in their life to change and it seems unlikely to happen?
