waaaa

I am imperfect and struggle with self-doubt, but God loves me anyway :)

God, please help me be more empathetic to others and their hidden struggles

Lord, forgive me and help me to remember to be humble

Jesus knows our pain and will free us from it one day, we just need to be patient

Modern rendition of an old church hymn

Growth is painful but it is necessary because Christ expects us to be better, doing the bare minimum isn't good enough

We were made to not just be better, but to set a good example for future generations--we are saved by faith alone, but faith without works is dead.

God is SO FREAKING COOL!

Another modern rendition of an old church hymn

Even in the hard times, I will remember that God is good and hears even my most tearful of prayers, even when I feel weak in faith.

Christian pop music now:

I believe in God

I have a joke about worship music... I have a joke about worship music... I have a joke about worship music... I have a joke about worship music...~

Country Song For Some Reason That Reads More Like Erotic American Flag x Jesus Christ Fanfiction

I'm so happy that God exists but I am Super Vague About It

God loves ~me~ specifically

Jesus comes inside me all the time and other vaguely non-sexual non-innuendos

God, You are worthy!

God, I am not worthy :(

Song that feels vaguely self-loathing but with some random mentions of Jesus thrown in

For example: "Did you properly explain that the reason you don't do hugs is because of your autism?" or "Maybe they don't really understand how bad fibro fatigue is and that's why they got upset at you for concelling plans."

Rescued dove learns to eat by watching others. No more force feeding! 

Uhm.. Actually, you can be. There's a lot of people who are honest when answering that question. They just do it in ways that don't come across so upsetting or depressing.

Many people sugarcoat their answers to be more palatable for a greeting, or for a start of a conversation. It can also just be a polite way of giving others an out for a potential depressing conversation they may not want to be a part of.

These responses usually come in forms like, - "How are you?/How's it going?" - "Could be better." "It's definitely going." "I'm still alive." "I'm getting there." "New day, new problems." "Well, I'm still here." "Same old." "It's not all sunshine." "It's moving along". "It is what it is." "Not great but I'll survive." "Hoping tomorrow comes quickly." And many more responses like this. These are all ways of basically saying "Things are kinda/very shit at the moment for me". But they just don't go into detail about it. They are being honest, without the extra information.

If the other person doesn't want to go further into this then they may just responed with something like "I feel you", or "That's relatable", or "Yeh, that's life". Which are basically ways of saying "I acknowledge things aren't easy right now", without having to go into a conversation about it. Not everyone has the emotional energy to deal with conversations like that in that moment and that's okay.
