Problems that are buried inside us rather than brought out into the light, work to drain us of spiritual energy. It takes a lot of emotional energy to keep things repressed. This is why people who repeatedly use the defense of repression end up feeling overtired. Healthy people are those who, like the Psalmist in Psalm 73, bring their thoughts and feelings into awareness – no matter how un-spiritual those thoughts and feelings may appear to be.
Father, I now begin to see why You bring me face to face with so many disturbing questions, for You know the havoc that is wrought within when issues are ignored or denied. Help me face anything and everything. In Your name. Amen.
