I was getting a hot stone massage and the therapist was very clear, "Tell me if I am hurting you." Even after expressing my soft to medium pressure preferences, the therapist still wanted to make sure I was comfortable while also trying to out of all my muscle knots. He also warned me that the stones may be a little too hot as he placed each one on my backside. I was told to speak up if it was too hot on my skin.

I want to encourage today you to...speak up. Tell people how you feel. And even more important, tell God what you are experiencing. Do you feel some discouragement or are you getting burned? Is the pressure of life getting to you? Do you need some relief? Is the hand that is holding you...holding you a little too tight? Say something.

You have a voice. Use it. Ask for some relief and expect the pressure you feel to soften and alleviate. You are not alone in this. You don’t have to carry this weight by yourself. Pray out loud to the God who is able to quickly heal the areas of your life that are hurting you. Be open and honest. Say what is bothering you. And trust that though you may feel uncomfortable in the moment, the tension, the muscle knots, this temporary issue will be over soon.

If you need prayer for anything, let me know. I would love to pray for you.
