I was wondering how you were doing in church today. I'm sorry that it was so hard. I take notes during the sermon. Could you write some positive thoughts down during the service? Writing thoughts down helps you to focus on them instead of everything else. You could think ahead of time what you want to write. It could be scripture, etc...

Own God's power and your power in that church. Pray before you go, during, and after. Take God in there with you and cry out to Him in your writing and in your prayers.

Don't go in there saying "I have to sit through the whole service or I will have failed." That is not true. You did the best you could today. God knows your heart and your struggles. He loves you and wants you to have His peace. He knows we are frail humans. Let Him help you through this and don't put demands on yourself that you "should" handle this perfectly.

You'll get through this.

Prayers,
Ann
