Stop holding things in. Share with God and reach out to your brothers and sisters in Christ

As Christians, we are often taught to turn to God in times of trouble and to seek solace in His word. However, many of us struggle with the idea of sharing our burdens with others, even our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We may feel ashamed or embarrassed to admit our struggles, or we may fear judgment or rejection from those around us. But the truth is, God never intended for us to bear our burdens alone. He created us to live in community with one another, to support and uplift each other in times of need.

When we hold things in and refuse to share our struggles with others, we are denying ourselves the opportunity to receive the love and support that God has provided for us through our brothers and sisters in Christ. We are also denying others the chance to fulfill their calling to bear one another's burdens and to show Christ's love to those in need. By keeping our struggles to ourselves, we are isolating ourselves from the very community that God has placed us in.
