Reveal My Struggle to a godly Friend
Notes to myself to help me -
Have a friend that I can honestly share my struggles with. Someone to have an authentic, honest fellowship with. This partner should be a Christian. Someone who supports me, encourages me, prays for me, loves me unconditionally, and holds me accountable. Someone I can confide in.
I know that I need this type of partner because if I get stuck in a repeating cycle of good intention-failure-guilt, I will not get better on my own. I will need help. I need to remember not to repress it, I need to confess it. Not to conceal it, but to reveal it because revealing my feelings is the beginning of healing.
I not afraid to admit that I have problems in my life. I'm not afraid to admit that I am not perfect. I'm not afraid to admit that I don't have things "under control." The problem is that I am afraid to talk about them because other times when I have confided in others, that trust was broken.
This is something I need to work on!
