praying and cussing

“Bullshit! After fifteen years of this work, I can confidently say that stories of pain and courage almost always include two things: prayin’ and cussin’. Sometimes at the exact same time.” -Brené Brown, Braving the Wilderness

I hope you are not offended. But it’s true. Life is really hard. We all need God to care for us, to reach out to when we are at the end of ourselves and our ability. He is real and He is there waiting for us to turn to him.

Also, when times are hard, your language, your thoughts, etc. is definitely not always rated PG. Don’t try and pretend that your mind will be so sanitized until you are in the middle of it with every emotion pulsing through your mind and heart. You try to take self-control of it in that moment and report back.

Thanks for listening 😉

  1. Amen!! Not offended at all. I’ve actually done both at the same time. Sometimes “pleasant” words just don’t convey the depth of our despair. And sometimes the “offensive” words are somehow extremely cleansing to the soul.
