Your Question:
How do I know what's right when everything feels wrong?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with feelings of uncertainty and confusion. It's as if everything feels wrong, and you're not sure what to do. I want to assure you that this is a common experience, even for those of us who are trying to follow God's will. As a pastor, I've seen many people go through similar struggles, and I've learned that it's not always about figuring out what's right or wrong, but rather about where we turn when we're feeling lost. You see, when we're feeling depressed or uncertain, it's easy to get caught up in negative thoughts and emotions. We might wonder if we've done something wrong, or if God is punishing us. But the Bible tells us to be careful not to be rash with our words or emotions. Instead, we should take time to reflect on our feelings and seek guidance from God. As the Psalmist wrote, "Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God." (Ecclesiastes 5:2) So, where do we turn when we're feeling lost? I believe that we should turn to God, and seek His guidance and wisdom. We should pray, read Scripture, and seek out wise counsel from trusted friends and mentors. And we should be patient with ourselves, knowing that spiritual growth and understanding are a journey, not a destination. As Jesus said, "You do not know what you ask." (Matthew 20:22) Sometimes, we just need to trust that God is working in our lives, even when we don't understand what's happening.
