Your Question:
how do i tell my family i'm struggling?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father, I've seen many families struggle with sharing their concerns with each other. If you're feeling overwhelmed and don't know how to tell your family, I'd encourage you to start with prayer. Ask God to give you the courage and wisdom to share your struggles with them. You can also use our family mission statement as a guide. We read it together daily, and it reminds us to "diligently, determinedly, and devotedly" follow our hearts and minds to God. When you're ready to talk to your family, choose a quiet and private time when everyone is present. Explain how you've been feeling and what's been going on. Be honest and open, and try not to blame or accuse others. Remember, you're not alone in this struggle. We're all sinners, and we all need help and support. As it says in Matthew 25:40, "You will be doing it for me." If you're feeling embarrassed or ashamed, remind yourself that God loves and accepts you just as you are. As a family, we've learned that it's okay to make mistakes and not have all the answers. We work together to support and encourage each other, and we ask God to guide us in our struggles. If you're struggling to share your concerns with your family, don't give up. Keep praying and seeking God's wisdom, and remember that you're not alone. Your family is there to support you, and together, you can face any challenge that comes your way.
