Just had a thought and I decided to write it down, and possibly get some discussion started. Over the years, if I have a thought come up that makes me sad and/or makes my heart feel heavy I've often just told myself to not worry about it. Now, is this thinking correct? Or, am I merely hiding the fact that I should be placing it at Jesus' feet and saying, "Your grace is enough." To me, I've spent way too much time deciding that I'm just going to grin and bear it, and eventually this issue will pass. I could use some serious prayer here, because I feel sick about something right now and my first response was, "suck it up and stop worrying about it." Where is God in this thought? Is this the appropriate response?
I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead me to turn to Christ when these things happen, and know that "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26.

I like this thought. Either way it is worth consideration. I tend to want to "suck it up" too, but where is the line there. I've spent some time here with my thoughts lately as well. Good stuff brother.
