Nothing beats a good hug from my man or a friend when I’m feeling low, though online ((hugs)) also help me to feel less alone. Sometimes we should just let ourselves be held, spiritually and physically. Soon we will be the strong ones ministering to others, returning love, care and encouragement. What do we do when prayer itself seems challenging? I find asking others to pray for me, is a good way to eventually overcome any resistance or reluctance to pray.īeing carried by the Body of Christ when we feel too depleted, weak or weary to help ourselves is a rather humbling and wonderful thing. What I tend to forget is the need to rest, relax and remind myself to breathe, pause, and pray.
I may react to sadness or pain by retreating, going silent or losing myself in busyness-usually of the mental preoccupation ‘hamster wheel’ kind.
