Honestly, I wish I could say my coping strategy is God, a reliance on his words and promises it wasn’t but that is what I want now.
In the past when I had things to do or a lot on my mind before my default without knowing was reading books, shopping, not tidying up, keeping to myself, finding deals or avoiding things I needed to do.
On the bright side, I got good at finding deals and shopping but most of the time it served as a distraction.
Which I only acknowledged today. The song and verse that came to mind while I was writing this is ALL of my help cometh from the Lord truly the psalmist knew that was the ultimate truth.
“My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:2 KJV

It reminds me to redirect instead of trying and failing to distract myself to go to God with my issues honestly and ask for help and guidance.
From now I want my coping strategy to be going to God first.
What were your coping strategies and what do you want them to be now?
Stay blessed
