When our heart feels heavy

How do we handle life when our hearts feel heavy? Do we lash out at our loved ones? Do we stop talking and go into a survival mode of only doing what is absolutely necessary? Or do we seek out friendships and support from others? 

When our hearts feel heavy, our Heavenly Father wants us to reach out to him. Cry, scream, shout if need be. Sometimes, even just sitting at the feet of his throne in utter silence, because words can not come out of our mouths. Our Father is listening. Reach out to him. God will never turn you away.

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

God desires his children to come to him. God desires our hearts and cares so deeply for us. God never leaves us, even when we are feeling all alone. Reach out to him; he will not disappoint.

May this give you encouragement today.
