DEALING WITH DISTRESS

Revelation 16:10-11---They gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

In our walk through life, sometimes our walk can be a time of overwhelming distress. There are times when we are bombarded by trouble, pain, and suffering from every direction. In times of our distress, we can reach out to others for help realizing when we reach out to others we may not receive the help we need. When others do not help us in our distress, we must realize the world does not revolve around us. When others do not help us in our distress, we must realize the world moves forward whether we have distress or not. When distress comes into our life, we can easily slip into denial and not want to face the truth. However, for the sake of your loved ones and the other persons around you, even for the world, you must be big enough and be honest enough to tell yourself the truth. You must be big enough and strong enough to repent. When bad times come, it behooves you to do everything in the world to find out what is going on within you and around you so you do not pass your distress to others. When distress comes, we are turned inward and we become selfish in order to survive, to cope, and to deal with the pain of the distress. No matter how terrible things may get in your life, your Lord God holds your heart next to His heart. God knows your every hurt and pain. God wills that someday all of your sufferings will be over and He wills that someday you come to live with Him in Heaven forever.
