“I am weary with my groaning;
All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.”
(Psalm 6: 6-7)
Wow! Just wow. These two verses explain my emotional exhaustion to a T. It feels like the whole world is against you, and things won’t cease to go wrong. I’ve found myself on my knees wailing to God ” why me!?”
I know it sounds dramatic, but in these moments I really do feel defeated. So how do I get through it?
The biggest thing is, I LET MYSELF FEEL THE PAIN. I let myself cry. I give myself room to be whiny and self-pitying, but only for the night. By the next morning I feel better.
I don’t know what about crying makes me feel better, but it does.
God gave us the ability to feel for a reason therefore, we mustn’t deprive ourselves of our emotions.
