Where You Run, so goes Your Pain

We seek distractions from our pain, but the distractions never satisfy us. We must face our pain with the Lord’s help.

God does not scold us for being afraid. Tell him your fears so he can comfort you.

Our words direct our behavior, so let’s use optimistic words, as the Lord wills!

Wise people express awe and wonder.

God doesn’t shame you like the world does. Your body and personality are good in his view.

We cannot tolerate sin and call it good. But we can still love and forgive the sinner.

Satan tricks us into doomsday thinking calling it responsible concerns. Jesus draws us back to his hope.

Don’t deny your fears, but also don’t give in to doomsday thinking. When you are scared, cry to Jesus. He will calm and redirect you.

We feel sorrow because of our own foolishness and mistakes. But God wants to comfort us, otherwise we cannot comfort others.

Don’t compare your pain to other’s sorrow. God honors your unique pain, so tell him how much it hurts, even if others seem worse off than you.
