Facing Responsibilities

[Pointman69]

Today is one of those days that responsibilities seem overwhelming. I just want to crawl into my cave and let life pass by. I'm tired, I don't want to interact with anyone, I don't want to make any decisions, or hear anything negative until I feel better. Problem is, I don't know how long it will be before I feel I can face things again.

I know I'll live through it, it's happened so many times before. It's not a useful thing - I'm unavailable to meet anyone's needs, even my own. I don't feel I have any heart left for things or people. I want to turn completely inward to rest and pamper myself - but then I feel guilty of being totally selfish and self centered.

This used to be the beginning of long periods of depression. They are shorter now. I know God is for me and will turn this for my good - I just can't see it now. May God be merciful to any of you who might go through similar times.

Not to long ago I would have offered to let you share my cave, you and me against the world! But, Every time I go into My cave, I'd find someone lower than myself looking for a way out of the cave. In helping them escape the pit of dispair, I too find my way out. I also found out YOU are the one that chooses to go deeper into the cave, or turn abd head for the LIGHT. Whatever direction you choose, I've got your back.

Isa 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

Ditto.

I'm a jungle penetrator crashing through your canopy of depression, baby!
