Numbing

We all have to deal with hard feelings, don't we? Feelings of stress, pain, sadness—sometimes it feels like too much. When things start to get overwhelming, we often try to numb ourselves out, whether that's through mindless scrolling on our phones, shopping, drinking too much, obsessive cleaning, or whatever. But while numbing may work for things like getting a cavity, numbing doesn't work on our souls. In fact, the only thing that will take us out of those overwhelming moments of stress, sadness, and pain is acknowledging those hard feelings, bringing them to Jesus and letting him heal us.
