Pastor Josh shared another mental health episode
On how to deal with emotions before they explode
He read from the first book of Samuel chapter one
Hannah was barren, without a daughter or a son
Josh said that barrenness can lead to desperation
Of course Hannah was getting filled with frustration
At times God allows us to go through severe pain
If that prepares us to help others, it is not in vain
In those days, married without children was a curse
Being mistreated by her rival just made things worse
Her husband loved her a lot but still misunderstood
And the priest misjudged her instead of doing good
To God in prayer, Hannah poured out her heart
Praying selflessly, willing to from her son depart
It was clear to the priest that she prayed in faith
“May God grant you what you asked”, he saith
God’s process often starts with some barrenness
The healing process often requires brokenness
For this can lead to an important breakthrough
As with Samuel, who Hannah later gave birth to
After the sermon, Josh shared Isaiah forty three
One of the critical messages resonated with me
On our past mistakes we should not overly dwell
For what we can do in the future God will us tell
