Have you ever complained about your circumstances? If I’m being honest, I have, a lot! Maybe my back hurts too much or I’m stressed at work, there’s not enough money this month or my car broke down. My complaints may be valid but too often I forget that the circumstances could be much worse. Having a bad day or even a bad week doesn’t have to be the end of the story.
Many times our burdens seem so heavy and perhaps they are. When I feel the weight of them starting to bear down on me I have taught myself to stop and breathe, to remember the blessings I do have.
It will be different for everyone. I’ve been there. I’ve cried. I’ve had heartaches. I’ve had many sleepless nights. I’ve held onto the last knot in the rope a few times. There has always been someone there to help, even from some I never expected. So if you find yourself in a place that seems too heavy, reach out and ask for help. You don’t have to do it alone.
