Do you find yourself stressing about all the things that you don't even have control over?  When we try to control.. we are placing unreasonable expectations on people and the world around us because the expectations are unexpressed expectations.  We envision how we WANT something to go from a singular perspective and then expect all the pieces to just fall into place.  It gets frustrating when expectations are consistently not met.  You end up wanting to fire everyone around you and then fire life.

If people are consistently falling short of your expectations, it may be time to decide if you need to work on YOUR communication skills.  As the person with the expectations and being adversely affected by the unmet expectations, you should take 100% responsibility for the delivery of expectations and the understanding to the point they can be communicated back to you to your satisfaction.

Just tell 2 people to alternate folding a piece of paper and tearing it in a specific corner (top left, etc) after a few folds and tears, open both pieces and see how different they look.  Translation of expectations is an issue.

Good verses to have on hand while listening

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NASB)
Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances.

Philippians 4: 4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

1 Chronicles 12:31-32 (NASB). (David was at war as the people set out to make him king instead of Saul.)
 
31 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh 18,000, who were designated by name to come and make David king.
32 Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.

These people knew the times in which they lived, they saw the signs of their time, and knew what to do in response.  They were in a war. 

Ephesians. 6:10-17
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength POWER of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Praying a better way - Make a declaration!

We all have heard of the prayer of Elijah, how he prayed that it would not rain for three years.  But we don’t seem to have known just how he prayed, and I think you’ll be surprised when you hear it.
 
James 5:16-18 KJV
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
 
1 Kings 17:1 NASB
Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.”
