The expression ‘pull out one's hair’ means to be very worried and anxious about something.
As the year is drawing to a close and many people are taking inventory: counting their blessings, achievements, successes, promotions and every good thing that has come their way this year, it is not uncommon for people to share on their social media platforms. Some will post it just to appreciate God, motivate and inspire others, while others will share their posts for the sole purpose of intimidating others, make them feel unlucky, unfortunate or lazy.
Friends, as you take stock of your year this season, you may see some of your critical goals that are yet to be accomplished and anxiety may want to set in. Don’t be anxious.
You planned, prayed and applied your faith for breakthrough in your marriage, finances, health, business, and relationship and here you are in December, nothing has changed much. Rather, you hear a loud inner voice highlighting everything you are not and did not do right. Don't yield to this voice. Don't pull out your hair!
Be intentional about guarding your heart this season. Whatever can make you become bitter, envious, jealous and irritated at other's people’s successes and achievements is not serving you.
Nothing is worth dying for. Whatever you could not accomplish this year can be accomplished next year. As long as there’s breath in your nostrils, and God has allowed you to see the light of another day, there is hope. A living dog is better than a dead lion.
Resist the temptation to pull out your hair. Stay grateful.
It’s not over until God says it is!
