Wavering Faith

 Jesus Christ is the answer

For what troubles your heart

Your faith, at times, may waver

Bur, please do not depart

Prayer is the place to start

Elevate Faith

Showing your children you love them

Helps them feel secure and safe

Helping them feel, through you, God's love

Will elevate them in faith

Astonishment

Live on the side of astonishment!

Curious for what will come next.

As we prepare for and see signs of when

Jesus will come, through last days events!

Parents, watch this wonderful video!

A Sabbath Song

I woke up this morning 

And felt within my heart 

That the Sabbath is holy 

And truly set apart 

This is the Sabbath day 

And I intend to rest 

I'll put the world away 

And life's daily test

The Sabbath is holy

And truly given for us

From morning to evening

I've this day with Jesus

I know this day is given for man

And I will keep it the best that I can!

I'll go to church and prayerfully partake

Of His emblems to renew covenants I made

Here, I seek to repent of my sins

And have the Holy Ghost burn within

This day I am blessed to feel clean again

And renewed for the week to begin

I'll study the words of the living Son

And seek His peace and wisdom to come

Always closing with, "Thy will be done"

Trusting He knows what I should become

Yes the Sabbath day is given for man

That we might slow down and ponder God's plan

How we can live His laws the best that we can?

Renewed, through Jesus, we know where to stand

The Cause

Though persecutions rage

To define what is right

We are anxiously engaged

In the vast cause of Christ

Revisit the Holy Land- Maybe Soon Will Be a Time of Peace?

 

With sympathy and understanding
We wish to promote a place
For both the Jew and Palestinian
To enjoy a just and lasting peace

Each, being of Father Abraham
This land has been made holy
Ever it will be a prayerful land
For all of his children, wholly

Too, here  Christians, oft land

To reread the Words of Christ,

To walk where He walked, and

Feel His presence and His Light

Meridian Magazine - A Latter-day Saint View of the Conflict in the Holy Land

It is hoped that Latter-day Saints can help provide a bridge of understanding between Arabs and Jews in that troubled region of the Holy Land and that to the extent that we look with sympathy and understanding at both sides, we can be an influence to help bring about a just and lasting peace.

February 28th is a special day where 2 of my poems from 2014 started to be viewed in numbers. I wish I could go back to that day and understand why these 2 poems became my two top viewed today.. I feel so blessed. And the countries that the views come from are unique. (meaning not English speaking)

Silently you read

And what did you learn?

Was your Spirit led?

Did you find what you need?

Did you tell a friend?

Did these words plant a seed

And help you in the end?

The Challenge of Belief

In the beginning
With Adam and Eve
Was contradiction
That challenged belief

 By transgressing
 God's laws in their hearts
 The first family
 Must depart to start

 Not knowing all things
 We come unto truth
 The spirit this brings
 Conviction's proof

 How do you explain
 Your witness as proof?
 To make sacred plain
 Makes light of the truth

 It is in the struggle
 The challenge of faith
 That we become humble
 And receive God's strength

If "this man" had come with an honest heart,
Seeking to "know for himself"
Answers would have come,
The spirit would have helped.

 Opposition only strengthens- a renewed faith to show
 With the supposer ever searching and never coming to know...
 It is not for man to "attack" churches and expose faults
 but to seek what good they offer by the truths that are taught.

Based on Mormon Apostle Jeffery R. Holland interview on BBC



The Savior Wants to Forgive

 You can shut out the Lord
 But He is still there
 Pray,
You can hear His Word
 And feel His sweet care

 Look how wonderful lds.org is. I googled this verse and it came up with cross references!

 Mosiah 26: 30 Yea, and as often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me

.Moro. 6: 8. 8 But as oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real intent, they were forgiven.
 Ezek. 33: 11 (11, 15-16) 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Amos 5: 4 (4-8) 4 ¶ For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, seek ye me, and ye shall live: 

Acts 3: 19 (19-20) 19 ¶ repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 

2 Ne. 1: 20. 20 And he hath said that: inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence. Mosiah 29: 20. 20 But behold, he did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him.

Conducting Music

 Don't finish a song

Like you dropped a dead bird

To the end be strong

Catch that last long breath, heard

My husband gave me some feedback on leading music.  I just drop my hand like a dead bird at the end of the song, instead of closing my hand in the air...

Reflecting

The mirror can tell
Only so much
Are you sick or well?
It cannot touch
Look into the mirror,
When it's late at night.
You're pale. Not with fever.
Please, turn off the light!

A Loving Patient God

You turned your back on God,

Hurt and offended.

Know that He is not gone!

His arms remain extended!

We'll See

We'll see mountains flee

And waters change their way

Motley Crew

We're a Motley crew

Just as in Christ's day.

But, He sees in me and you

Potential always!

We're such a Motley

Just as in Jesus's day

But, He sees in me and you

Divine potential, always!

Motley crews are diverse and are in need of organization, prone to making mistakes...And the fact that, in the church, they get amazing things done is a testament to the priesthood of God,  influence of the Holy Ghost and the Light of Christ.

Multifaceted Departure

Old hurts alll add up

And you avoid new pain

And, because you don't feel loved

You forget blessings gained

The heart waxes hard

And the ears become dull

When, God, we discard

And His loving gospel

The tongue starts to judge

Doctrines and others

Your feet will not budge

And everything bothers

Then, the eyes wander

And accept something new

Safer paths to ponder

Goodbye the old you!

Still, like a divorce

A bitter taste remains

And without remorse

Mormonism gets the blame 

I know you can't wrap up into a tidy bow all the reasons people leave the church, but these particular thoughts came to mind. 

On a brighter note- because Jesus is the Master healer and this poem cannot be over!

Time passes...a thought

Triggers a memory

A lesson you were taught

Redirects your life story

You decide to return

And many welcome you

The Spirit again does burn

And you're restored anew!

We had a return missionary speak about his mission. I love conversion stories! I love seeing the gospel in action with lives being changed! 

The elder spoke of someone who wondrously gave up 5 vices IN A DAY to start his journey with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  We all have vices that hold on to us, so it is very encouraging to hear of the gospel completely changing someone! 🙌 ❤️ 

Expanding Perspective

As disciples of Jesus Christ

You travel to foreign lands

You experience and share His Light

And your perspective expands

Drop everything

That can bring you down

On what lifts you, now!

Complaining

Sharing

Check-In

If there ever was a time

To take a moment for prayer

It's when there's big news that I,

For  loved ones, want to share!

I am realizing this as loved ones pass away that I would have loved to call at the "big" moments in life. Heavenly Father should be on the top of tge list. 

What news? Iran no longer is a nuclear threat! I wish wonderful changes for this country and its beautiful people.  I remember Iranians flooding American colleges back in the day. I hope a bond between our nations forms again.

The Lord is My Shepherd

I am like a lost sheep, fallen and afraid.

While growing more hopeless on a path I have made!

In an habitual rut without any light

I cry out for help and I hear these words in the night:

"I am thy shepherd and you shall not want

Through my goodness and mercy, you can confront

All the dark paths you have taken and the pits you have made

Come follow me to where redemption is paved!"

I partake of green pastures 

Where my Spirit can now hrive 

Near a pure stream to treasure

I am so blessed, made alive!

Thankful, I still remember how easy it is to fall

I know I must stay within the shepherd's call
Through His merciful good news I know I am safe
And share with others how I have been saved!

The Lord is my shepherd,

To Him, I belong.

I am thankful I heard...

His pasture I'm on.

Happy Father's Day Heavenly Father

Our Heavenly father smiles upon us

When, good choices, we make

His sees us through tough situations

And offers strength that we not break.

Safe, secure, seen 

Happy Father's Day, Heavenly Fatger!

Father Gives Me a Little Boost

Father, you are always there

Giving the nudge I need

Offering a boost till

I can keep going. Lead!

Happy Father's Day

Sad side note: boost is slang for shoplifting??

Answer to a Nation's Slide into Chaos

When chaos overcomes

Efforts to deesculate

A spiritual revival becomes

Our best hope to erase hate

Laws are being toyed with

Amidst civil unrest

Civility can't win when

We don't share how we are blessed

Great Britain is at risk.

France is at risk.

Germany is at risk.

The US is at risk.

You have to be a healthy nation

To take refugees in

When there's no acclimation

Civil unrest begins

https://youtu.be/Se2azRu5QAI?si=ISBPWonaxgQ3P_zz

The Burden That Won't Let

 When we hold on to hurt feelings

It's a burden that won't let

When we forgive there is healing

That frees us up to forget

Was It Something I Said?

Was it something I said?

Or something I did?

I sense, from you, hatred.

I hope that's not your intent!

Let's make peace, instead!

Bygones be bygones 

We had a good thing!

I wish to right my wrongs

You're such a blessing!

And the Spirit.. I rely on!

Out in the open

Let's clear up the air

It is my hope, then

You're heart, you'll share
Please. For you, I care.
I woke up thinking about my mom and how this feeling she got from a woman who suddenly avoided her. The only common factor was my then teenage daughter, as this was her friends mother. To be honest, my mom's deepening depression made her tender heart sensitive. She felt anxiety about going to church. She felt anxiety about not going to church. BUt, for the duration that she attended, she had a sweet testimony and many friends. Now I understand her deepening depression was dementia. She withdrew herself from others.

Doctrine Meaning

You can't corner doctrine
into a tidy box.
It is a gift for growth within
to ponder in each phase one walks.

Blessed

Each unique crust of bread

Is Christ's body, individually torn for us

That we might be both sanctified and fed

As we remember and seek the Spirit of Jesus

Each cup, prepared and filled,

Represents His sacred blood shed

As He took our woes and sins upon Him

And willfully was sacrificed in our stead

Let us remember all of God's laws, so strict

And joyfully keep the covenants we have made

Faithfully, submitting to the challenges life inflicts

Knowing that for our sins, He has already paid!

Get Your Bearings

Come and get your bearings

For the journey home

Endowed, in the temple wearing

The promise of eternal hope!

The Path Paved for Love

He suffered injustice,
Torture and death, He knows!
Through all suffering, know this:

The path paved for love, He shows!

www.ldsliving.com › what-is-the-covenant-path-andWhat is the covenant path, and how can we know ... - LDS Living Jun 23, 2023 · The covenant path is not about whether we are enough or do enough. It is a path about what we can become in Christ. It is a path of love.

A Bridge Between the Strong and the Weak

A bridge between the strong and the weak

Is based upon common ground

What do you know and what do you seek?

There, solutions can be found!

Common ground makes for a level Bridge.

Original Uniqueness

It is strangely encouraging,
To see the uniqueness of kin.
That while our elders are aging,
They're still building character within.

Ultimately, each fine quality

Defines us to who we truly are.
God's own, born with ability
With a moral compass, as our star.

Each time you witness greatness

This proves that God is real!
Develop your own goodness.
In His light you'll see and feel!

Word of Mouth

Hundreds of shocked Jews
Quickly spred the news
A life had been restored
By Jesus Christ our Lord

Yes, Lazarus did rise
From the dark tomb of death
He opened up his eyes
And took again life's breath

"Is Not This the Fast That I Have Chosen?"

Is not this the fast

That I have chosen

To get past the past

And find growth again?

Never

Never was He known
To turn a deaf ear
Tenderness was shown
To bring the Father near

Power

When you feel powerless

And would to give in,

Seek the Lord, quick to bless.

Humbly pray to Him!

The Need For A Path

When the Savior spoke of staying on the path
It was related to what they knew to be true
For the journey is long and it takes all that you have
And the last thing you want is to lose a shoe!

“And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.” – Ephesians 6:15

Stick to It

Stick to it
And don't give up
Bit by bit
You'll pass what's tough

Goals

Try to beat

Your personal best!

Goals to meet

Adds challenge and zest!

Let Go

Let go of your guilt

For what's in the past

Repentance is real

And changes can last!

Empathy Tears

Sometimes our tears

Aren't sadness, at all!

Empathy nears

And the tears start to fall!

The Light of Christ

There is Light
In this darkened world.
It's within.
And, it comes from the Lord.

That exam!

Grow Gratitude

Choose your moods and attitudes

Conquer that gloomy nature

Warm your heart with gratitude 

Decide to grow and mature

Thoughts about Leader in Me and Pout-Pout Fish. He tends to spread frowns everywhere he goes.

Don't spread frowns

Everywhere you go

Smile, though you're down

And let gratitude grow

God's Gift to Man! Joyful Toil

Finding pleasure in work-

Even, then, to eat and to drink

Is God's gift to man

Ever thankful, of Him we should think!

There is nothing better

That man should do

Than to be joyful,

Work, and be good, too!

It is such a blessing to work.

Ecclesiastes 3:12-13. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live. Also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil- That is God's gift to man.

Beyond

Look out into the expanse.

There is infinitely more!

We are not made of chance.

Look! God is everywhere!

The dance of the honey bees.

The migratory patterns on Earth.

Pheromones among threatened trees.

Life communicates beyond what's heard!

Would You Rather?

Would you rather live in a world streamlined.
Where jobs exist jobs for all?
Or, a place where individuals can shine
And answer to their own call?

Thinking about employment and how that looks in various countries. Las Vegas has 8,000 or more homeless. What can be done???

Repent. Discover
What, with Him, you've got!

Get it together
And do so in haste!
Live for forever!
Where your place awaits!

Missionary Work

This is our greater
And more glorious call!

God is listening!
Love's the evidence,
Warm and comforting.


Be confident

Share all your thoughts...
Your deams... your fears.
Seek to be taught
And feel His love near!

Leave It

Leave it behind
For the better thing

Life's best offering

Fill the Void

My thoughts travel
And settle where they will.
They unravel
When I'm idle and still
Thoughts sometimes seem to have a mind of their own and it is important to continuously seek learning and things that are lovely and of good report to fill the void. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/article/articles-of-faith

...and be grateful!

Unprepared

So unprepared
To send you off.
Concerned. Scared.
What have I taught?

God Knows and Loves YOU

God knows and loves you
As His child, His own
You are part of the "why"

Who You Are- Can Lead

The person, who you are,

Is the one someone needs.

Know this: When you are called,

For now, you're the one to lead.

The fight

We fight against the pricks
With a narrative that sticks.
But, that is not who we are!
We are meant to travel far!

Pricks are little nudges from the Holy Ghost. The narrative is what negative things we tell ourselves and that limit us to follow through. I struggle with this.

1.65M Views Humble/Grateful

Jesus, thou, Eternal Life,
I love Thee! Thou revives my heart!
My soul, Thou fills with Light!
In praise, I say, "How great Thou art!"

I have been writing poems since my son left on a mission many years ago. I marvel at the randomness of the internet that these poems have reached so many countries with views now reaching 1.65 million! If there is one thing I would celebrate the most, t is writing Jesus, Son of Man, a Jew. I learned so much and poured my heart into it. It has 2.29K views. I know that there are better poets out there! I am just expressing my thoughts while pondering and as they come. Talking about the earth and wondering about the true scale of the map of the world, I found this video that puts everything into true proportions. It is really cool, especially watching the change of the top half of the northern hemisphere. https://x.com/neilrkaye/status/1050740679008296967

And just to keep me humble and remind me that poetry can bring someone to tears. Elder Whittle's poem, He's Been There Before, has more views than any of mine ever will. It is exactly what every missionary needs to help them get through their mission!

Luke 15 | Parables of Jesus: The Parable of the Lost Sheep | The Bible

They are not just a flock to collect.
The good shepherd calls after each one,
To nourish, inspire, and direct.
For those lost, His work is never done!

It is a Dream Come True! A commission on religious liberty

It is a dream come true,
When religions unite!
Faith in God revives us to
Become a nation of Light!

I used to attend The Nevada Interfaith Association (a fellowship dedicated to promoting collaboration, cooperation, and support that encourages sharing among faiths.) Each year, they pick a topic and hold a monthly meeting at a different church site. You get to know different religions and are not treated as an outsider. It is a beautiful opportunity to appreciate differences and to show acceptance.

Religion Communicators Gather in Utah

It is through service
That evidence is found:
In Him, we have purpose
And charity abounds

It is as we give
We open up ourselves
To Light, hope, and love
And even Heaven's help

When different faiths unite
This evidence expands:
Love puts differences aside
For the outreach of helping hands

Prayer and Worry

More prayer=

Less worry,

Less stress,

And less hurting

And.. remember a hymn is a prayer, too!

I often remember when a kind Sikh who, in the middle of the day, was kicked to death at the end of our street by a gang's initiation ritual. I never knew hiim. But afterwards  got to know his wife. This poor man practiced medicine in his home country and he was getting ready to take an exam. He was out stretching his legs, getting some fresh air, and holding prayer beads while trying to not feel overwhelmed.  🙏  This was an important message to me to get to know our neighbors and to pray for each other and to lighten each other's load.

 The deaf can now hear 👂 !

 The blind can now see 👁 !

The feeble can fall down

 And bow at His feet!

In wonder, we weep!

Yes. Here! The Lord has come 

Descending through Heaven's veil

What can be done? What now is won? 

The effects from the fall 

He atoned for us all! 

Bathed in glorious light

Surrounded by Heaven's best

Eternally made bright  🌞

Victorious! The world can rest,

So infinitely blessed!

This dream come true

Is coming soon

For me and you!

Dressed

With tunic and mantle

Held at the loin

With bare feet in sandles

He calls, "Come. Join."

With tunic and mantle

Held at the waist

With bare feet in sandles

He calls, "Make haste!"

Legitimize Your Prayers

The brother of Jared

Stopped praying for years

But once repentant

A vision appeared

Barges in darkness?

An ocean of waves?

Light, he could harness

Answered through faith!

Let's repent from where we departed

God can elevates each of us

To where we were when we started

Or to something much better! Trust!

Our most amazing version

Awaits us for His work!

Even to see the Lord in person,

With such faith in His Word!

A Woman of Christ

You are a woman of Christ 

With a divine destiny!

Dress that you might carry His Light 

So others, through you, might see!

Smile

Smile through the pain,

With joy in Jesus Christ!

His love is made plain!

And this make all things right!

Imagine a smile

That lasts a thousand years;

Mixed with, all the while,

Wonder, when to Him one nears!

Only YOU

Only you are always there

 To set my path and make things right

 Only you, I trust for care 

 You know my heart and make things light

Only you are always there

Know who I am for what I can

It's with you I want to share

Things on my heart. You understand

Only you know what pains I feel

And exactly the "could" and "should"

I love you! You help me heal

Your forgiveness is ever good

 Only you can carry me

 I trust you know. I pray for this

Only you help me to see

This greatest joy, that I not miss!

 Only you know what is best 

For me. How, I am so blessed!

Only you bring light each day 

Only you turn fears away

Only YOU!

On My Mind

I have a lot on my mind,

bouncing around .

The best solution to find

For solid ground.

Come Back

Come back to where you are loved!
You, alone, are enough!
Return, in faith. Look up!
These times are but to get more tough!

Jesus Christ's Final Hours | An Easter Study with President Jeffrey R. H...

Carrying Our Sorrows and Sins He carried more than just the cross.
He bore the bruisng weight of each soul!
All our sorrows and sins, at grave cost!
Plus, they reviled and mocked Him so!

Comfort and Concern Above Him a sign, The King of Kings
He did not speak to grieve His case
But, as He was placed between two thieves
He taught them of paradise, a place

Abandonment- The Truest Cause of Anguish Nailed for hours, reality increased
Feeling abandoned from His Father, He
Anguished, was God displeased?
And asked, "Why has Thou forsaken me?"

Forgiveness-Interceding for His Transgressors Ever trusting in our Fathert's plan
Out of obedicence and love
He asked forgiveness for each man
Before commiting His Spirit to God, above (He didn't just expire)

Paradise/ His torn body, with broken heart
Was carefully laid to rest
Yet, in Spirit, in Paradise, He set to start
The preaching of the gospel to the dead!

Life is a Choice

Life is a choice
The Lord can make it right
Give thanks! Rejoice!
In giving birth, delight!

In consequence,
The decisions are heavy
Free your conscience
Your blessings will be m😊any!

With a pregnancy unplanned
How the emotions run!
But, trusted friends understand!
And will help you and your precious one

Get it Off Your Chest

Get it off your chest,

So that you can sleep.

Honestly, confess!

Breathe in, with relief!

I'm Here!

My regrets 

Return out of nowhere 

And I don't like 

What they have to share 

These old thoughts

Make me feel so small

Till I feel

There's nothing to give at all

Still I know 

You deserve nothing less!

I am here !

Yes. You don't have to guess!

I. I'm here!

And I've got things to do.

Like give love

And share my life with you!

Yes. I'm here.

With a smile I shake my head.

Litmus Test

Peel Back the Layers

Peel back the layers

To who I really am

A child whom God favors

Washed in the blood of the Lamb

Where there is no pride,

No deceit or anger!

Where from Thee I don't hide

But, with Thee my prayers linger!

Contention is gone

And I don't judge at all

In faith i am made strong

And I recognize my call

Open up my heart ❤️ 

To where I really feel!

Give me hope in my part!

Help me focus on what's real!

Holding nothing back,

I pray to Thee today,

For strength where I lack.

Help me see me 

as Thou sees me 

always!

I escape into movies and eat more than I should. I hide my emotions and pretend everything 's good. I don't have a clue how to help someone else. But, I love Thee Jesus, and from Thee, I find help. 

The best version of me is hiding in here somewhere...To open up, repent and of ny best self, share

S-L-I-P!

Excited, I step into the unknown!

Eager to bury the old for the new!

But, at the last second, there my feet go!

And I am taught of humility, too!

The Greatest Miracle Known

Indescribable was His call

To atone for mankind, alone.

This ultimate triumph of all

Is the greatest miracle known!

Irrefutably, He paid the debt.

Nothing can compare or compete!

Jesus' conquering of sin and death

Yes, was irreplicably complete!

This week on social: First Presidency testifies of the ‘most glorious event in history’

21 March 2025, 11:50 a.m. MDT

President Nelson invited individuals to remember that, while the Atonement of Jesus Christ includes His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and His death on the cross at Calvary, it was at the Garden Tomb that His atoning work “was fully realized and His victory over sin and death became truly complete.”

He testified, “The Savior’s Resurrection was the ultimate triumph, the ultimate miracle, wrought of foreordination, indescribable agony and divine power from on high.”

Stretched Thin

Stretched thin

It is hard to breathe...

To think.

Still, pray and believe

Do You? Have you?

Do you know?

Have you heard?

Where to go?

Who is there?

Isaiah 40:28

He never wearies

He does not faint

Give Him your worries

In Him, have faith

Bodies

Your body is unique 

And made just for you 

To build strength where you're weak,

 Through the service you do!

If

If I could be the best version of me

What would I do? What would I be?

Would I lay down my weapons of war?

Would I realize what I am here for?

If I could do, my best, in all I do 

How would that feel? What would I choose?

Would I feel I've goodness inside?

Would the Spirit inside me reside?

If I could love and give all of my heart 

Who would I love? How would I start?

Would l make and keep the best choices?

Would I live as one who rejoices?

...if

If that is me, how will that be?

How will I get past the old me?

First- I must live as Jesus lived!

With all of my heart, for just Him,- give!

Endure

Have a plan

To endure strong

For God, stand

Know where you belong

Slip Up

So often we slip up

As we try to do what's right 

Still, Our Christ can catch us

When we repent and live in Light

Believe

Believe angels dance 

and twinkle the stars

And given the chance

They'd touch all our hearts

Mirror into Your Past

The mirror into your past

Is found when you go home.

Where memories are cast

From your childhood,  shown

Lose

It's not what you will gain

When you daily pray

But, all that you will lose

As you find your way

Change starts with prayer

To Almighty God

How you're weak. Share

Give Him all you've got.

Anger, ego, depression, fear. anxiety....

Investigate

Hang back

Lay low

When it's bad

To know

Give yourself some time for understanding so that you act in place of faith and not fear.
