Today’s Five Minute Friday (FMF) prompt is BURY.

<><><><><><><><><><>

Is it better to BURY your feelings or discuss them endlessly?

The answer, of course, is neither.

When you BURY your feelings they will eventually come out in some other way. You will most likely develop an ulcer, chronic migraines, insomnia,  or depression.

Conversely, when you are known to be someone who overshares or complains all the time, others will tend to avoid you just to escape the drama.

Both options can lead to feeling very isolated and alone.

The answer, therefore is somewhere in the middle:

” For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.” – Hebrews 4:15 NIV

In other words, take your troubles to the Lord and trust Him to provide  answers, strength, or comfort in your time of need.
