What do you do when you are carrying so much on your shoulders and begin to break? I’ve reached this moment many times and every single time I can’t help but look to God for strength. He did not intend for you or me to carry everything by ourselves but if you’re anything like me, sometimes pride and shame take over and you continue to carry your issues, your family’s issues, your friend’s issues and it becomes overwhelming.
Maybe you don’t believe in God, so what is your outlet? If we are not careful with all the things we carry, we can hide the pain but only for so long before our body physically begins to feel the anguish. Our mental health declines, our character is affected, and our view of life starts to get skewed.
I just want you to know that it’s ok to take a break. It’s ok to take a day or two off and just sit, cry, sleep, go for a nice hike, go for a walk somewhere, and BREATHE. Don’t take everything upon yourself and keep going in life like that, there are people who are close to you that want to listen even if that’s all they do. There’s no easy and quick fix for the issues we deal in life, but God can provide strength and peace.
Don’t give up and don’t do it all alone, we are meant for community and meant to encourage one another.
