What do we do when we are hurting?

Most of the time, when I feel a big burden on my life, I get sad and grumpy.

I know that I am not supposed to do this, but supposed to has very little with who I am at my worst moments. When I feel a heavy burden because I feel betrayed, or let down, or like a failure or a hundred other broken things that bring me down, I tend to be at less than my best.

I know what I ought to be and to do.

When I am in that broken place, I ought to turn to Jesus. He says to me, "Come to me, all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." I know thats what I should do. I know from experience the few times I have done it that it works - I really do feel better after going to God with my pain and my shame.

So why don't I do it every time? Don't I want to feel better?

Who are we and what do we do when we feel bottomed out?
