Life moves fast and everyone says "just stay positive" - but what if the fastest way to feel God's comfort is the exact opposite of pretending we're fine?
In this Battle Drill Devotional, discover the uncomfortable secret in Matthew 5:4 that flips our idea of blessing upside-down. Jesus says, "God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted" - but what does that really look like for your everyday faith?
You'll learn:
Why hidden guilt never stays hidden (and how it leaks into daily life)
The true meaning of mourning: focused honesty with God, not endless sadness
How the blessing isn’t the absence of sorrow, but God’s presence inside it
A practical "spiritual breathing" exercise to exhale pride and inhale mercy
Try This:
Set a 2-minute timer. Tell God the exact broken bit you’re tired of managing—no spin, no churchy words. Then sit quietly and let Him speak first.
If you’re done pretending you’re fine, type “I need comfort, not coping” in the comments.
