Laying Aside the Weight of Self Pity

We all know that one person that likes to hold a pity party for themselves. They moan, they grumble, they’re constantly seeking validation from others, they’re always trying to hide away from others and they’re almost always super dramatic! At the root of it, self-pity is an inability to accept a situation and an unexpressed thirst for sympathy. It makes you portray yourself as a victim of circumstance and absolves you of any kind of accountability and responsibility. As believers, self-pity dresses itself up as righteous indignation and is generally the underlying cause of burn out. It chokes out faith and drains us of any kind of hope. In today’s message, Pastor Tai challenges behaviour and thought patterns of self-pity. With both humour and wit, he teaches 4 scriptural tools to combating and expelling an attitude of self-pity from our lives.
