Piper: “You don’t have to bear the awful weight of being the judge and the avenger yourself. Punishment will happen in hell, or will have happened on the cross. You cannot improve upon the justice of God in Christ’s crucifixion or in hell. So you can let it go.”
God isn't sick and tired of you, sweet friend. He longs to help you, and His strength is the answer to all of your weaknesses.
"He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.” Isaiah 40:29
A critical heart produces a critical tongue. A self-righteous heart produces a judgmental tongue.
But a loving heart produces a gracious tongue. A peaceful heart produces a reconciling tongue.
@katheray97 I’m late to the party but when I am stressed or nervous I consciously relax each muscle at a time in my body and it almost immediately helps me feel less tense and shift my focus.
(Sir Mix-A-Lot, “Baby Got Back”)
I like turkey and pumpkin pie
Keep the gravy pouring the whole time
And when my mom walks in with whipped cream to taste
There’s a big grin on my face
I get HUNG-Gry to eat it up
Until I get completely stuffed.

Have devastating circumstances ever left you asking, “Where are You, God? Do You see me? Do You care?” I know how hard that can be. I'm sharing my own story of being stunned by the silence of God in my devotion “Saved by Suffering.” You can read it here:

Jesus isn’t shocked by our weaknesses. He doesn’t shun us or push us away.
No. Hebrews 4:15-16 reminds us that He is approachable. He understands our struggles. And He graciously offers us help and hope.
What a gift it is to be loved by Him.
Satan wants us to wait until January 1 to start reading the Bible again, but we need to hear from God every day between now and then. https://t.co/rwj2WeBEpQ
