Difficult Times

Have you ever had a difficult time? What did you do? Did you eat? Did you pray? Did you enjoy someone’s company? Did you stumble? What did you do when things got tough?

They say in recovery that danger is represented most often by the acronym, HALT; if you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, you are at risk:

But then, what to do? Can you call a friend? Hug your wife? Pray to God? How do you stay on track?

What if you find something is off in your life:

So prayer is the best, but sometimes solutions may also have skin on. There may be a pastor, friend or spouse you can talk to. If they are sympathetic and objective, they can help you through.

I hope you keep strong when you are down, and that you reach out for help when needed, so that you don’t go into a tailspin, but if things get rough, I also hope you come through strengthened, with a better life than when you began.
