Anger

Burn Out

Exodus 18 describes Moses as a dedicated, over-responsible person. Day after day he was the sole judge of the people and their countless questions. His father-in-law, Jethro said, "This thing is too much for you;  you are not able to perform it by yourself." (v.18). He advised Moses to concentrate on teaching. He said he should judge only big problems and appoint reliable men to judge smaller matters (vv.19-22). "If you do this thing," Jethro concluded, "and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure."

Exodus 18:13-27

 

Depression

I waited patiently for God to help me; then he listened and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, our from the bog and the mire, and set my feet on a hard, firm path and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God.

Psalm 40:1-3

Direction

I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
