This time of year especially brings about many feelings and emotions.
For some it feels that they will never look as good, feel as good, be as good as others traveling through life around them. Others look so happy and put together in every way possible.
Those feelings can make you feel like this picture. All alone in a dreary, filth filled world.
This has been a year of loss for many. Loss of loved ones, loss of marriages, loss of a profession, loss of farms and more. Through it all you may have lost your desire to carry on. The feelings of hopelessness are overwhelming.
The feeling of standing on the edge of a dark, deep abyss are terrifying yet there’s a certain amount of desire to just give in and take the plunge.
While I cannot begin to heal you personally I can tell you there are people who care about you. You are not alone in the field of mud. Right now, you just can’t see the rest of us.
Part of our problem is we don’t see your need. Some can do a great job hiding their pain. We don’t know how to help if we don’t know help is needed. Please tell us.
Many churches offer counseling help.
Your medical doctor can provide resources.
My personal source for help of any kind is God. Having a personal relationship with his son, Jesus has changed who I am. If you are interested in finding out more about this please message me.
There are other avenues of help.
