When other’s disappointments spill over onto you…. when their discouragement is tangible…when they vent & express frustration over things they have no control over… don’t allow it to influence your emotional state. For when you become as dismayed as they are, you can’t begin to encourage, comfort, or give hope. And you’ll find you both winding up despondent, sad, and depressed. Instead seek the Lord first…looking to Him for the hope of the impossible, peace in the presence of misery, and comfort regardless of the outcome.
