Self-pity: "excessive, self-absorbed unhappiness over one's ain troubles."
Sometimes I allow self-pity to accept accuse of my caput as well as heart.
Not a practiced thing. Not a God thing.
It's non that I don't direct maintain reasons to move disappointed as well as fifty-fifty discouraged.
Paul said he was 1 time then discouraged he felt he couldn't larn on (2 Corinthians 1:8-10).
That's when he turned it all over to the Lord.
And went on.
And that's what nosotros must create amongst self-pity.
Self-pity is self-focused, self-indulgent, self-pandering, self-destructive.
It's sin.
We overcome it by:
2. Denying ourselves (Luke 9:23).
3. Thinking of others (Philippians 2:3-4).
4. Dwelling on the positive (Philippians 4:8).
5. Remembering God uses bad for practiced (Romans 8:28).
6. Remembering God wants to comfort us inwards difficulty (2 Corinthians 1:3-7).
7. Moving on (Philippians 3:10-14).
May the Lord assist us create these things whenever self-pity enters our hearts. We are able through His mighty power, to arrive at infinitely to a greater extent than than nosotros inquire or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
