Your Question:
How do I deal with the emotional toll of treatment?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the emotional toll of treatment, whether it's for physical or emotional issues. When facing a crisis, it's essential to remember that sometimes there's nothing humanly possible to do to solve the problem. In those moments, it's crucial to seek the Lord and trust in His guidance. Reading the great prayers of Scripture, such as Ephesians 1:17-23 and 3:14-19, can be a powerful way to seek His wisdom and comfort. When dealing with emotional struggles, it's essential to address the root issue rather than just treating the symptoms. This means being willing to look at our own hearts and seek God's help in understanding and addressing our emotions. As Psalm 40:17 says, "Deliver him from this and all other controlling emotions." It's also crucial to seek help from others, such as friends, family, or a therapist, and to be open to their guidance and support. In my own experience, I've found that seeking God's guidance and wisdom can be a powerful way to navigate difficult emotions. When my wife Susan and I faced a particularly challenging time in our marriage, I sought God's guidance and wisdom, and He helped me to see the real issue and find a way forward. I pray that God will help me to be a source of comfort and guidance to those who are struggling, and that He will give me the words to say that will bring life and hope.
