Can we acknowledge when we are not doing too well?

I nearly murdered my sandwich the other day. 🙂
(At the time this was written.)

It wasn’t the sandwich’s fault, it was just the final thing that topped me over the edge. (Or nearly.)

I was just trying to cut my cheese and pickle sandwich in half, but it was the wrong knife for going through the crusts. The crusts just simply looked at the knife and in effect said, “Ha, wrong knife mister. You aren’t cutting me with that.”

I just tore the crusts apart in the end, suppressing the urge to pound the sandwich into the work top and then throwing it straight at the window, which was closed.
It would have been a better option if the window was open.
At least then the birds would have been able to peck away at those blasted crusts, rather than it just make a mess of the window.

Fortunately I managed to surpress the urge to murder the sandwich and throw it at the window. The scenario burning through my head was enough to bring me to my senses.

I just thought, “Have things got so bad that I’m now about to murder a sandwich???” 🙂

I’m not going to share what brought me to this point here. (It would probably take too long, and could possibly end up making me look small minded and silly.)
But it has left me with the thought of, “Can we acknowledge when we are not doing too well?”

When we are not doing so well, then how do we deal with it?
Do we just try to ignore it, and then almost destroy a sandwich? (Or something else?)
Is there a better option that we could take?

Psalm 42:5

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.

King David knew a thing or two about things not going too well for him, at times.
There are many Psalms where David pours his soul out.
He has times when he acknowledges that things are not so good, and then looks to God for his help.

Could we all try to follow David’s example instead of coming to the point where we just want you murder a poor defenceless cheese and pickle sandwich?

Lord God Almighty,
You are my Lord God.
Thank you that You are for me and not against me.
Thank you that You do Love me.
Help me to come to You that much sooner, before I start to do the daft and silly things.
You are my Rock and Fortress, and to You I look for my help.
You are The One who can keep me from falling and keep me out of harms way.
In You I can find Your rest.
My Lord God Almighty.
Amen.
