One thing I come to realize as a Christian is that for some reason, we feel the need to put a veil on and pretend that we are ok when we are not. I think most of us are guilty of this. Why? It is ok not to be ok. It is ok to tell others about the things we are going through. It is ok to ask our brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for us. It is ok to feel weak and ask for help. This society makes us feel like it is not normal to feel this way. That our life should be perfect when in fact.. none of us live a perfect life.
I am guilty of all of the above. When I don't feel my best, I tend to shut down and wait it out. Why? Maybe because I feel embarrassed or because I don't think anyone can help? Or maybe its because I feel the need to fix it on my own? I do not know why but I do know now that it is normal. That I was never meant to live a perfect life. That I will not always feel strong. That some days will be harder than others and that it is ok. So please, talk to someone. Because chances are, you are not the only one with struggles. But most of it all, ask God for help. Pray about it. He can do so much for you.
God bless,

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 NIV
