Reach Out When Suffering

In the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Amen. 

     Dear GOD, Almighty: please bring down the Holy Spirit and heal our bumps bruises. Help us to remember, Lord, You are our comfort and our salvation. You are with us in times of happiness, and sadness. You will not leave us, your children. Amen. 

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)

     We all suffer from life's bumps and bruises throughout our lives. Many times we can take those bumps and bruises easily. Other times, when the bumps become potholes the size of SUVs and the bruises become beatings (or beat downs) we want to simply hide-away in a cave away from everyone, when the pressures become too much. 

     It is at times like these that we must remember that evil delights in separating us from GOD in many forms. Separating us from our family, friends, coworkers, and especially GOD, through the stress and anxiety that fills our lives. 

     When we are over worked and feel shackled (chained) and no one offers to help; no one offers to smile or say "hello" "how ya doing", we feel bullied and afraid. 

     It is when we least feel like reaching out that we must remember: being alive in GOD comes with benefits. GOD wants us to reach out for help. HE GIVES US MANY opportunities and resources to ask for help. GOD has placed us in a community. His community. 

     

     Our community starts with God as our head of household and our families. It slowly expands to our playmates and classmates as we grow up. As we mature we meet new friends, parishioners and coworkers.  

• GOD: Pray to God with all your heart and soul. Ask Him for help. Read the Bible for inspiration.

• Place of worship: (Church, Temple, Mosque) seek out fellowship. In fellowship you and your group can help each other by praying for each other. 

•Family: speak to your spouse about your troubles. Your spouse is your partner in marriage and life. Pray together for healing and love. 

•Work: After praying, talk to your boss and/or coworkers about the issue you may be having at work. You may find a helping hand. 

Friends: reach out to your friends. Sometimes it may be easier than reaching out to your spouse due to the issue. Talking with your friend may lead you with strength to speak to your spouse. As always, pray. 

Professionals: many times we feel we cannot talk to our family, friends, or coworkers. Sometimes we feel we can't even approach our priest/minister, rabbi, or imam.  We can always talk to a professional who is not in our regular circle of influence. A neutral party. There are many secular or religious therapists, counselors, and doctors in mental health who can be of service.

Please pray and reach out for help. 

Amen.
