Therefore shake off your great sadness and lay aside your many sorrows, so that the Mighty One may be merciful to you again, and the Most High may give you rest, a respite from your troubles., 2 Esdras 10:24 Apocryphal...reward you double...pull you from under all the rubble...of your life. He'll show you how to eliminate the stress and strife...change your plight...make what is wrong...right. Gain from what is negative...positive insight. If your attitude and response is right.
So don't give yourself over to sorrow...throw a pity party and wallow...in your mess. Don't stay jacked up and depressed...that's far from a divine characteristic of the blessed. Thou I must confess...I have suffered through many a test...but I refuse to regress. I shake it off...and apply a whole lot of joyfulness! While receiving God's mercy and rest...so, I can move on and get abundantly blessed.
