Coping Techniques That Will Keep You Sane By Dr. Sinclair Grey III In this life, Ive discovered that a whole lot of people struggle with coping. Let me say it this way. When life begins to stress you out, how you react to the stress will determine what type of outcome youre going to get. Without learning proper coping methods, youll find yourself doing more harm to your body than good. I want you to get into your spirit the enemy wants you to fly off the handle and deal with things in an incorrect manner. Simply put - the enemy wants you to damage your spiritual temple so that he can control you. However, the enemy is defeated because God has given you the strength, courage, and endurance to handle anything thrown at you. In this spiritual journey, I want to share with you a few ways in which you can cope with people and things. The first thing you need to do is step back from the person/situation, take a break, and go to God in prayer. Through using the time-out method, youre allowing yourself to gain control of the situation rather than allowing the situation to gain control of you. In addition to this, youre seeking divine guidance from the One who knows all, sees all, and controls all. The second thing you need to do in coping with people and things is realize that you have power on the inside thats greater than anything on the outside. In a real sense, the Spirit of God in you is able to guide you through anything. As our church elders say, trust in God and Hell make everything okay. The writer of Proverbs penned these words, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Please dont miss this last lesson. Dont waste your time and energy on foolish things. In other words, dont allow that which is trying to stress you out and bring you down to rule you. Theres work to do and if you spend too much time dealing with foolish things, youll miss what God has for you. Thats my word for you. Cope with people and problems in a productive way so that you can receive a productive outcome. Proper coping techniques will save your sanity and spirit. You can overcome anything because youre a child of God.
