Your Question:
What's the best way to deal with the emotional pain?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've seen my fair share of emotional pain. I've walked with couples through difficult times, and I've also experienced it firsthand in my own marriage. For a long time, I struggled with anger issues, and it put a strain on my relationship with Susan. But I've learned that the key to dealing with emotional pain is not to avoid it or medicate it, but to face it head-on. As the Bible says, "We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope" (Romans 5:3-4). When I'm feeling overwhelmed by pain, I try to remind myself that it's not the end of the world. I think about the promises of God, and how He is always with me, even in the midst of suffering. I also try to focus on the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. And I make sure to surround myself with people who care about me and can offer support and guidance. But I also believe that sometimes, we need to confront the root cause of our pain. In my case, it was my anger issues that needed to be addressed. I had to take responsibility for my actions and seek help to work through my emotions. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. And I've learned that when we face our pain head-on, we can come out stronger and more resilient on the other side. As the Bible says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).
