When Your Heart is Troubled

Original Post: July 10, 2020; edited.

When your heart is troubled,

…remember that God is still in control.

…invite a friend over for coffee.

…double up on prayer.

…take a nap. Or, two.

…find comfort that God knows your anguish.

…take a walk in nature.

…realize that life isn’t always fair.

…repot your plants, or buy a new one.

When your heart is troubled,

…rock away on your front porch swing.

…be reassured that not everyday will be this hard.

…pray for those you love.

…spend time with a child.

…spend time with the elderly.

…cry. It’s okay to cry.

…pray for your enemies.

…read the Bible.

…pet your dog.

…hug someone.

When your heart is troubled,

…ask God for understanding.

…write a poem. Or, perhaps, a blog.

…don’t lose hope.

…make a fruit pizza.

…ask God for a little more patience.

…sail the seven seas.

…continue to dream.

…pick some wildflowers.

…realize you may never have the answer.

…watch the sunset.

When your heart is troubled,

…tell someone you love them.

…remember that through patience, the best is worth waiting for.

…believe in God’s timing.
