Putting words to how you feel. What you know in your head is now heartfelt. 1 Corinthians 14:15
The distraction of pain is less painful than the pain of distraction. We've all heard at one time or another "You're such a pain". The pain of that statement lies in the blow to our pride. We take it personally and become distracted.
Our pride keeps us focused on ourselves. We can't bear to have our weaknesses revealed so we begin to channel all of our energies to the painful acceptance of hating our weaknesses.
Then we begin to believe the overly simplistic meaning behind "no pain, no gain" instead of “present pain with gain, future gain less distracted”. Philippians 3:10,11
The pain of distraction is more painful than the distraction of pain.
Touchdown in the Inn Zone. Luke 2:7
Mining my own business. Job 23:10

Anxious intimacy.
Intimate anxiety.
Taking something old and making it fresh. Our ideals that have become ordeals don't always need what we think of as a new deal(replacement). 2 Corinthians 5:17
