Devote yourselves to prayer, be watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2
Pain and sorrow encompass our world but so does joy and laughter. One thing you need to do is intentionally think uplifting good thoughts regardless of what is happening around you.
You don’t have to go far to realize there are hurting people all over. Do you have an action plan in mind for reaching out to bring comfort? When you go beyond yourself you start to feel better. Whether a person has brought the pain upon themselves is not the point. Learn compassion and be still.
Learn to be thankful even in your sorrow. Rejection, loneliness, misunderstanding, death, pandemic isolation, job loss, prodigal child all can create immense emotional hurt. Just keep talking to God throughout the day and be sincere in sharing your heart. Don’t get mad at God but realize He does care for you. Trust faith not feelings.
PRAYER: I love you Lord and I need you more than air and water. When family and friends reject me or don’t understand me you are always there. Give me self control to not spout off to humans but to be still and let you work. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
