*Numb the pain?*

After your season of suffering God and all his grace will restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. 1 Peter 5:10

Sifting through a lot right now. Mainly noticing how quickly our world wants to numb pain and sadness. I've been hurting about many things lately but notice Satan is REAL quick to offer me ways to numb my sadness. 

It's a shame really because think about it, if you don't deal with your pain then it continues to build and become something way greater to deal with. It's like if you broke your leg but just took pain killers and kept trying to hobble with no rest. You need rest to heal and rebuild. It's prolonging the pain by not simply stopping, feeling and resting! 

This is a new battle I'm fighting! Fighting to feel pain and grief and be okay with it. We were made to feel deep pain for a reason! The reason is this! After the pain subsides or is numbed by the Holy Spirit.....  Your gifted GRACE comes in and swoops you up! 

The Challenge: 

Is it possible that by numbing your pain you are actually keeping your well deserved GRACE at a untouchable distance?
