Are you prone to self-pity?

It is easy to feel sorry for ourselves when we are overwhelmed with so many responsibilities and burdens.  At those times, we should remember Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

So dwelling in self-pity is not being steadfast and faithful to God, and you will certainly not fulfill your life’s purpose apart from God.

And remember David’s cry, from Psalm 13:1: “How long, O Lord?  Will you forget me forever?  How long will you hind your face from me?”  God heard these cries, and he hears our cries – don’t ever doubt it.  Not for a minute.
