“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
Proverbs 11:25
There have been some sad and difficult things happen in my family over the last few weeks.
When stress is high and life is overwhelming, it can be easy to just wish for a way out, a shortcut to feeling better, or gaining instant peace.
However, this may direct the way we start to live and pray in negative ways.
We can become insular, focused only on our own difficulties, pains, and problems. We turn inward. Our cries to God are simply for escape routes.
