Your Question:
How can I take care of myself when I'm not well?
Answer:
When I'm not feeling well, I try to remember that I need to focus on my internal strength to fight off the external things that can bring me down. As a pastor, I've learned that it's not just about physical health, but also mental and spiritual well-being. I believe that God created us to trust in Him and love others, and when we're not doing that, we can feel disconnected from our purpose and hopeless. I've found that prayer and seeking guidance from God can be a great help in times of struggle. I try to memorize promises from God's Word, like "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). I also try to put on a friendly manner and behave as if I were a nicer person than I actually am, as this can help me to feel more friendly and loving. As a husband and father, I know that I need to take care of myself so that I can be there for my family. I try to prioritize self-care and seek help when I need it. I also remind myself that I'm not alone in this struggle, and that God is always with me. I try to focus on my purpose and my relationship with God, and to trust in His goodness and love for me. By doing so, I can find the strength and hope I need to overcome my struggles and live a more fulfilling life.
