Your Question:
how do i take care of myself during this crisis?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of crisis upon you, and I want to offer some guidance from my own experiences as a pastor and a husband. When facing a crisis, it's essential to recognize that you can't solve it on your own. I've learned that in times of turmoil, our self-awareness can become a hindrance, leading to self-pity and despair. Instead, I encourage you to seek the Lord's awareness in your life, allowing Him to be your all in all. In my own life, I've found that fasting and prayer can be a powerful way to navigate a crisis. It's not just about giving up food, but about spending time in the presence of God, seeking His guidance and wisdom. As you fast, examine your requests by the Word of God, and make sure your motives are pure. Remember, the secret to fasting is not about what you give up, but about what you gain – a deeper connection with the Lord. As you face your crisis, don't be afraid to cry out for help. Just like I cry out to the Lord in times of need, you can do the same. Don't try to self-save or put yourself back together; instead, acknowledge your limitations and seek the power of God to help you through. In my experience, it's in those tender moments of vulnerability that we discover the true nature of our hearts and the depths of God's love for us.
