Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

It seems like October is the month to be sad. I don't mean me, but everyone else around me seems to be hurting. Lonely thoughts. Romantic rejections. Career fears. Marriage fights. Burning out from too much responsibility.

Well even my nightmares of not having community have been creeping in.

Seems like when everyone has depressing thoughts and are on the brink of cracking, they come to me for an ear to listen and maybe a few words of encouragement. I do what I can do. For them, "there is always Dan who I can talk to."

Who do I turn to when I feel anxious? Is it really fair to just tell me "just turn to God?" Don't you who said that have people you spill your guts out to at night?
