Today show is to encourage the one who is hurting, heartbroken, grieving or feeling hopeless. I pride myself on being a safe space for other people to share their heart and true emotions because I know what it feels like to not have one. Let’s normalize understanding being strong takes a great deal of work that often leaves the strongest people tired and broken. Only because most of the people who are around a person who is strong doesn’t recognize or believe the individual when they’re transparent and admit their not ok. A lot of people expect the strong person to always be strong as if we all aren’t human beings who have moments in time of feeling hurt, sad, hopeless and weak.
I am sharing my heart today not to be judged or for pity but to awaken those who are asleep to the truth and reality many people are facing mentally and spiritually. Warfare is real. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States last reported in 2020. It’s the silent battles individuais fight mentally that contribute to the increase rate of suicide. Statistics showed in 2018 the average someone passed away from suicide in the U.S. was every 12.8 seconds. On average there are 132 suicide deaths per day. That is 48,180 lives lost every year by way of suicide.
The saddest part is most suffer in silence because they’re shamed, shunned, judged and persecuted when they’re weak and speak out.
Remember everybody has a breaking point. It is only because of my firm belief in Jesus Christ that I am able to type and say this to you today. “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:10)
To the one that is hurting, cry out to God and hold onto to his unchanging hand. He carries us in his palms when our hearts our broken, he is a guiding light and lamp unto our feet when we face darkness and feel defeated. God is not a man that he should lie. He promised to love and be with us always. His rod and staff comforts us. The Lord is close to the broken hearted. He cares for us. Stand on his word and use it to fight when you have nothing else left. God’s word is true and it will never return back to him void. Grab your refreshments, drinks, notebooks and pencils. I pray you’re blessed and enjoy the show. NATIONAL SUICIDE HOTLINE 1-800-273-8255. *I Do Not Own Rights To Any Of The Music Being Broadcasted At The Beginning and End.)
