My hope is to reach those of you who might be going through a rough patch in life and to make you feel less alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-6117638731283036086bard-text-block m_-6117638731283036086style-scope\">And the tips I offer aren\u2019t some magic formulas\u2026they are just simple tools you can apply &#8211; if they resonate with you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-6117638731283036086bard-text-block m_-6117638731283036086style-scope\">I remember a time when I didn\u2019t want to speak about my struggles because when I did, too many people would say something like \u201coffer it up to God.\u201d To me, that sounded like: \u201cI don\u2019t really want to hear about it. God will help you, not me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-6117638731283036086bard-text-block m_-6117638731283036086style-scope\">And so, I kept quiet, praying to God and feeling awful because God wasn\u2019t \u2018hearing me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-6117638731283036086bard-text-block m_-6117638731283036086style-scope\">And God \u2018wasn\u2019t hearing me\u2019 because I blocked God out\u2026.

It\u2019s giving up holding on to our position in which we can only see our situation one way. It\u2019s moving aside and allowing ourselves the space from which we will see the situation more clearly &#8211; with ease and without as much overwhelm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-6117638731283036086bard-text-block m_-6117638731283036086style-scope\">But no one explained that to me then \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-6117638731283036086bard-text-block m_-6117638731283036086style-scope\">\u2018Offering up to God\u2019 means<b class=\"m_-6117638731283036086bard-text-block m_-6117638731283036086style-scope\">\u00a0letting go of the illusion that we can control &#8211;
