Pour it out

Pour it out. When we don't pour out what is inside, we either become stagnate or toxic. When we become stagnate or toxic, we try to mask what's going on inside through other mind altering substances or activities.
Pour it out just like the psalmist did. If you can't get out your own feelings in a psalm then pick a psalm that you identify with and speak it out for yourself.
For example: Psalm 6 6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. 7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. 8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. 9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.
This Psalm, like so many, identifies, feelings of despair, sorrow, and ultimately hope. So get your pen and paper and pour it out to the One who hears and cares.
