#faithbites #faithjourney #faithbiteslite venting

Intro

Have you ever just needed to vent to someone? How do you feel after venting? Having trusted friends with whom you can bare your heart and vent about all the things that are bugging you is necessary. No, it’s not Festivus and airing your grievances against everyone, but a chance to confide and get things off your chest. Today at work someone asked me if I had a psychology background as I’m a good listener and a good person to vent to. While I don’t, I safe space. God wants us to have those trusted friends with whom we can vent to and confide in.

Scripture

• Genesis 2:18 – Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
• 1 Peter 3:8-9 – ⁸ Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. ⁹ Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Prayer

We know that you provide the ultimate outlet for all of our venting and frustrations. Lord, we love you and thank you for always listening, always forgiving, and always wanting to know whats in our hearts. Help us to always know you are there for comfort. In your name, Amen.
