There is absolutely nothing wrong with experiencing a wide range of emotions; they are an inherent part of being human. However, it becomes problematic when our feelings begin to control us instead of our intellect and the Spirit of God. It’s perfectly normal to feel sadness, anger, regret, remorse, anxiety, or even depression at times. What truly defines a person is how they choose to deal with these emotions. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, it can be incredibly helpful to reach out for support from a close friend, family member, pastor, or counselor who can lift us out of the depths of a pity party. Dwelling in prolonged sorrow not only harms ourselves but also affects those around us negatively.

When we turn towards God and share our concerns with Him through prayer, He promises to listen and respond in His own perfect time and way. Combining prayer with seeking guidance from wise individuals who point us towards Jesus Christ can prove transformative in overcoming such negative emotional states. Engaging in physical exercise is another effective method as it releases endorphins that boost mood and energy levels. Sometimes all we need is a fresh perspective on our situation. Writing down at least five possible solutions on paper allows us to acknowledge that there are alternatives amidst difficult circumstances while reminding ourselves that things could be worse. We must constantly remind ourselves that by God’s grace alone will we overcome any challenging situation we face. While acknowledging the reality of our feelings, it is crucial not to indulge in non-productive pity parties but rather cast all your cares on the Lord. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. ~ Bill Greguska

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

This Serenity Prayer Helps Put Life Into Perspective!

Read slowly, deliberately, and prayerfully.

 

“The Serenity Prayer”

God, grant me the Serenity,
To accept the things I cannot change…
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
