Good morning! How are we faithing? It is a hard thing when we deal with others who are wallowing in self pity or are simply focused on themselves. I have had times when I retracted inward and threw up the defensive walls for protection but to what avail? How did that help when we have a savior who takes up for us? I know sometimes life tosses a curve ball and a regrouping is in order but looking at our own misery all the time is tiring for ourselves and those around us. We have intelligence yet we fail to pause and look for ways to overcome rather than complain. We have a choice to be happy or be sad. Let me tell you, I have met many who think sad and upheaval is normal and balk at happiness to the point that they have to make everyone around them sad too. Where are you? What light is on in your heart? Is it even flickering? Are you only seeing the bad? Is everyone against you? Answer those honestly and if you only see others as out to get you, you need Jesus and you need that relationship now. Not the religion but Jesus the Shepherd...
Rom 5:6-8
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
1Pe 1:17-21
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your kindness and love for us. Thank you for caring enough to save us and even have a way for us to be saved. Teach us to seek your face when we face woes on this orb. Show us that you do care and love us. We ask for wisdom and not riches this day so we help and not hinder. Help us focus on you and not ourselves, In Jesus name amen
