Struggles? Get On The Bus, Ho, Ho, Ho!


“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

No one is immune to problems not even a lottery winner. Seemingly people seem to think money is a cure all but it won’t heal deep hurting heart issues. This time of year can create undue stress for many. 

Being alone. Feeling  left out. Hurtful words by a family member. Comparison to others. Unmet expectations of the holiday season. Everything combines to make it not so merry a time of year. Sometimes you may feel you are going to explode. 

Stop what you are doing. Purpose to forgive people who may have hurt you even if they never ask. Let go of hurt feelings. Be careful what you say to not dig your hold and sadness deeper. Don’t let Christmas anxiety make you forget what this time of year is really all about. Breathe in joy and peace and breathe out anxiety of the season. 

PRAYER: Lord I want to choose peace this time of year. Help me sow joy in another’s life who may be hurting. Direct my steps to be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

    You have excellent thoughts here. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of the season. If we remember the reason for the season, Jesus, we will enjoy the times we have.
