I deeply appreciate your invitation to “tell God off” (if that’s something needed). That’s something relatively new to me in the past year or two - learning to trust that He is safe, infinitely and perfectly so, and that He’s not gonna be thrown off by my humanness. One of my close friends refers to us (humans) as “dust people,” and one of my favorite lines in Scripture is from Psalm 103, where the psalmist makes the comforting claim: “He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.”

Life is a lot easier when we actively see ourselves as dust people, and God, obviously, as the bloke who made us, is cool with us being dust people. 🙏🏼

Lots of what your shared covers my coping methods - walks, deep breaths, listening to music, journaling. Where I am is snow-covered at the moment, so walks are especially cool (in both senses of the word). Movies can be another reset for me - your Nacho reference made me smile :) I also make pour coffee regularly, and that hands-on kind of ritual can be centering for me. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and inviting a response.
