Afraid knot

Have you ever tried to get a knot out of your favorite necklace? You decide you can do it and 1 hour later not only have you not made any progress but you have now added two more knots to the already existing ones? Bound and determined to figure this out you get a needle, yes a needle in hopes that you can figure out this knot dilemma. Sometimes you succeed and other times you throw out the necklace and get a new one. There are knots in my life right now. Health knots that create anxiety knots. Self worth knots that create spiritual knots. Not being able to meet obligation knots that create frustration knots ... oh the list goes on. My usual "needle trick" isn't working on the knots in my life. What I have learned is that in the necklace knot dilemma it's okay to set it down for a time or to ask for a fresh set of eyes or just trash it all together. While I can't just dump my health issues in the trash, although that sounds easier than going through it, I can find a better way to help me untangle. It's hard when you can't find the courage you need or the strength to ask for help. It's hard to feel like a burden or afraid of your knots. I pray for the courage to get through my knots and knowledge to understand why.
