“Some days, 24 hours is too much to stay put in, so I take the day hour by hour, moment by moment. I break the task, the challenge, the fear into small, bite-size pieces. I can handle a piece of fear, depression, anger, pain, sadness, loneliness, illness. I actually put my hands up to my face, one next to each eye, like blinders on a horse.” I CanMomentsHandsEyePainFacesNextHoursChallengesBreakToo MuchPiecesSadnessLonelinessTasksHorseSizeIllnessHandleBitesHands UpSmall PiecesBlinders Author:Regina Brett

“The Lord is near! You're not alone. You may feel alone. You may think you're alone. But there's never a moment in which you face life without help. God is near. God repeatedly pledges his proverbial presence to his people. Don't assume God is watching from a distance. Avoid the quicksand that bears the marker "God has left you!" Don't indulge this lie. If you do, your problem will be amplified by a sense of loneliness. It's one thing to face a challenge, but to face it all alone? Isolation creates a downward cycle of fret.” PeopleThinkingMomentsHelpingProblemLyingChallengesLordLonelinessDistanceAssumingIsolationIndulgeNot AlonePledgeAll AloneProverbialQuicksand Author:Max Lucado

“Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm, when we look at each other we must say, I understand.
