You don't have to pretend you're okay with something that hurt you.

You can tell God you're angry.
You can tell Him you don't understand.
You can tell Him something feels unfair.

Naomi did.
David did.
Asaph did.

And God didn't ask them to hide their pain before coming to Him.

Bring it to God.

Ever answered “How are you?” with “I’m good” when that wasn’t really the truth?

Sometimes we bury hurt because we don’t know what to do with it. We push through, keep moving, and hope it goes away.

But what we refuse to process often finds other ways to express itself.

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay to have faith. You can bring your pain, your questions, and your grief to God.

Lament isn’t walking away from God with your pain. It’s walking toward God with your pain.

Faith doesn't require pretending that you're not hurting.

Sometimes we think trusting God means we shouldn't feel angry, disappointed, heartbroken, or confused.

But Scripture gives us another way.

Lament.

Lament isn't walking away from God with your pain.
It's walking toward God with your pain.

Name it.
Bring it to God.
Let Him change what the pain is producing in you.

You don't have to minimize what happened.

You don't have to pretend you're okay.

You can bring the whole thing to God.

Still thinking about last year’s Trunk or Treat… 🎃🧡

The trunks.
The candy.
The games.
The smiles.
The neighbors becoming friends.

And we're doing it again. 👀

October 28. 6–8 PM.

Save the date. You won't want to miss this one. 🍬

Resentment has a selective memory.

It can make one moment feel like the whole story—and when we keep replaying it, we can lose sight of everything else that is true.

The question isn't only, “What was done to me?”
It's also, “What am I going to do with it?”

Bring the whole story to God.

What we tolerate in the heart can eventually take over the heart.

Resentment rarely stays where it starts.

Disappointment can become resentment.
Resentment can become anger.
Anger can become hatred.
And unchecked hatred can eventually shape what we do.

Esau had a legitimate wound. But his wound became more than something he carried—it began to shape what he wanted to do about it.

So here's the question:

What am I going to do with what was done to me?

This week, don't just ask God to change the person who hurt you.

Ask Him to show you what is growing in you.
