You are focusing on your problems, and so they become heavy. Don't take yourself so seriously. Lighten up and enjoy the things that you can enjoy. If you continue to dwell on your physical and spiritual problems they will just grow larger and you will feel trapped by them. I know your worst fears, your little niggling anxieties, and your imaginary concerns. As you bring ALL these things to Me, I will begin to deal with them and show you what action you should take, if any.
Hiding yourself away will not lighten your load. Rather it will exaggerate it! You are suffering from over anxiety which is causing you to see everything as a mountain to get over. These things are not mountains to Me. I can change your mindset, if you will yield all to Me and not withdraw from My presence.
Curb the desire to run away, to opt out, to dig a hole and lay in it. Instead use these things as a means of receiving My grace, which is sufficient for your every need. Do not sink into shame, or self pity. The way out is 'up'. Come to Me again. I wait to help you.
' Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal weight of glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal'.2 Corinth 4:16-18
