Lately it feels like there’s a lot going on all at once.
News, opinions, constant updates… it can get overwhelming pretty quickly. I sometimes notice it affecting my mood more than I expect.
I’ve been wondering how others handle that. Do you try to stay informed, or do you step back sometimes to protect your peace?
I like to stay informed, but it does become to much at times, so much of our news is death and violence, or drama.
All we can do is pray for peace, but I did notice that when I used to actively avoid news, I didn’t worry as much.
I have been cutoff from everyone and everything for the last 5 days, it doesn’t change much except the way satan attacks. Try this my sister to even the playing field: for every minute you let the world in, spend 2 minutes in prayer and his word. Shift your preception from the physical to the spiritual and surrender it all to him.
I don’t have TV so not much to worry about there. For the internet, I’ll read the headline and maybe the rest of it and maybe not. So much of the news is someone’s opinion and interpretation that it can get lopsided.
I like to be informed and know what’s going on, but at the same time I don’t seem to care so much. At least right now. The Bible says a great deal on how things will go and so we know how things will go and it ain’t pretty.
Deep down, you are not alone, brother, and if I were there, I would come and visit you myself. You don’t need Scriptures from me right now, but recognition, acceptance, and love.
Stay strong in Christ Jesus brother.
