Today's lesson is about emotional health. Oh, how I could have used this years ago. At one point in my life, I was an emotional wreck. Somehow, I got better. As I've said before in these posts, my life could have been so much better, so much easier, and I could have been so much happier had I known God and all He has in store for me.
In order to truly have all that God has promised, we need to be emotionally healthy. We need to have relationships that enrich our life and also allow us to enrich the lives of our loved ones. I can remember being so depressed, angry and sad. Now, what used to bother me just rolls off my back. I did learn (maybe it was with age) that there are some things you cannot change no matter how hard you try so why bother. It's so much easier to just accept, or at least be neutral, to things that bother me. I still worry about a lot of things, but for the most part, I save my energy when it comes to worrying about something I have no control over. And, I've learned to turn my worries over to God in prayer. He hears prayers and He answers them with the right answer - every time.
Here's my favorite quote from today's lesson:
"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength." ~Corrie ten Boom
