Chastening from the Lord is not desired generally, but it's always done with a divine purpose in mind, that we cannot now see. I talked more about this, with Hebrews 12:11 as the background.
I talked also about how Facebook is like prison, Twitter is like a school bus, and Instagram is like a lunch table. We need to make sure we are wise with our tech.
Also talked about the importance of taking your emotions, especially your deep emotions, to God. He'll help you to understand them all better.
⚔️Scriptures Mentioned:
Hebrews 12:11 - No present chastening is joyous, but grevious, but it leads to good things.
Alma 37:36 - Give all your affections and emotions to the Lord - He will help you understand them.
