Press in.
Press on.
“Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us…”
Hosea 6:3 ESV
One of the surest ways to finding yourself back in what I call that “deep hole” of feeling aloneness or burn out over things you thought you could control and learned that you couldn’t is this…
Unexpressed emotions, specifically unexpressed disappointment.
You don’t have to tell anyone. Just tell God alone. You may be surprised over all you’ve been holding in either because it seems trivial or you believe you should’ve long let it go.
Sit in silence. Let your disappointments come to the surface. Be honest with God.
If tears come, let them.
Actually, be glad they did.
Don’t hide your disappointments, express them so they don’t keep you hidden.
Know yourself well and you’ll know God even more.
