Your Question:
how do i learn to accept my new reality?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling to come to terms with a new reality. As a pastor, I've seen many people face similar challenges. The key is to let go of your old self and allow God to reveal your true self to you. It's a process of surrender, of giving up your own understanding and desires, and instead, seeking God's guidance and wisdom. The Bible says, "Give up yourself, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it." (Matthew 10:39) This is a paradox, but it's a fundamental truth. When we let go of our ego and our need for control, we open ourselves up to God's presence and power. It's not about trying to figure things out on our own or relying on our own strength, but about surrendering to God's will and trust in His goodness. As you face this new reality, I encourage you to come to Jesus, to seek His guidance and wisdom. Meditate on the cross of Christ, and ask for the knowledge of God. Pray boldly, and ask others to share their experiences of learning more about Jesus Christ and the gospel. Remember, our subjectivity is shaped by our existential interests and purposes, and it's only by seeking God's perspective that we can truly see reality as it is.
