“But I want to be very clear on what I am looking for. Do I want comfort and a straightening out of my thinking?” (ODAT, 16 May)
I make the mistake of thinking that my problems are worth talking about.
Occasionally, I genuinely need input or validation that a particular approach or point of view is the right one.
Generally, I know already, though.
Constantly talking about emotional maladjustments stops me from ever adjusting. To adjust I need to take inventory, confess, make amends, ask God for the right attitude and action, and get on with it, not looking back.
I’ve discovered considerable relief in not needing to talk about things. It’s really OK not to.
