What to do when sadness overwhelms you? When depression wants to grab hold and stay? When the past creeps back in and sets you back years? When all the old emotions, fears, and anger rear their ugly faces and stare at you in the mirror?
Pray. Pour out your soul before the Lord. Whom better to understand your feelings? He loves that person or persons more than you ever could. He is the Comforter.
Pause. Hold your tongue until a proper time and proper attitude to discuss the situation. A heart of love and a motivation to heal the breach not beach the relationship. A soft answer turns away wrath.
Trust. God works all things together for good, to those who love God and are the called according to His purpose. Put your hope in Him.
We can't do this with our eyes fixed on us. Look up - See His eyes fixed upon you. He loves you.

Praying for you, my Sister ...
My dear sister
I can only give you His strength. His Hope and His everlasting Love through His Word: Psalm 42 (For I know Whom you believe and committed your life to for yet you will still praise Him!) and Psalm 73:25.26.28 (one of my life verses). May he keep you steadfast under the shadow of His wings.
Thank you for your post - I am sure as it encouraged you, it encouraged me. Trust is hard sometimes, but Trust in the Lord and it can always work out.
A diamond is only formed under the most intense pressure!
