“How are you?"
"I'm ok."
"I'm good."

I hear these conversational phrases all the time, and perhaps you have, too. I've honestly found myself feeling guilty about asking the question or providing one of those answers on many occasions. It's a daily script that we memorize for convenience, and we sometimes fall into the habit of using these phrases for safety as we go through the daily motions, often keeping our true feelings inside. However, what goes in eventually has to come out. There’s only so much room in our hearts and our heads.

Asking, “How are you?” is unintentionally formulaic. Usually, it becomes the equivalent of a hurried greeting when you reply to a text, see a coworker as you squeeze into the elevator or run into a neighbor at the grocery store while the kids are yelling and your cell phone is ringing. The person who replies with an automatic, “I’m okay” may actually be wanting to say:

“I’m struggling with depression."
"I need help."
“It took me two hours to get out of bed today.”
“No one cares anyway.”
“I’m about to have a meltdown."
“I’m having a panic attack!”

Instead of "How are you?" I like to ask, “How are you managing?” Perhaps, if someone is having a rough day, they may say, “I had the worst day! Nothing good happened. Nothing is going right!” Maybe, when nothing goes right, you could "go left" and say, “Tell me one good thing that happened today.” Check in with your friends, family or even a stranger – the person in the Starbucks line or the person next to you at the game. You never know what you can do for a person simply by acknowledging them. It costs nothing to be kind.

Someone once told me that they say “I’m okay" or “I’m good” because they don't want to inconvenience another person, believing that everyone has their own struggles that must be worse. That’s when I reminded them of how caring and thoughtful they were, that they deserved to be heard, that their feelings matter and that they matter. Lay down your troubles for a while, I told this person. Let’s talk about it. Remember: It takes courage to tell someone how you feel – and it's okay not to be okay.

Whether it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, Su***de Prevention Week, Su***de Prevention Month or Mental Health Awareness Week, it's day by day for all of us, especially for those who are suffering in silence. If you are struggling and reading this, talk about it – that's the first step. There is someone out there that will hear you and understand. Someone who cares. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. That, my friends... is OKAY.

Take care of yourselves and each other.

As we process all of the domestic violence devastations that has happened all over the country within the last 2-3 weeks, I do believe that it is time for us to spend more time with our loved ones. If there are signs of domestic violence in the homes of your family members, I encourage you to get involved with resources that will help and encourage them to make some decisions that will protect themselves and their children.

MEN talk to your brothers/homeboys and if you are aware of these incidents that may be taking place in their homes, have the hard conversations and report it.

To be honest, it is all of our responsibilities to help one another.

My Prayer is that people will be delivered and freed from Anger & Rejection in these relationships. That they will understand their own worth and the consequences of their actions; there is help to cope with issues not talked about that causes them to have these behaviors that cause people to harm/hurt others.

And for your Women that's in the "Dating" phases of their lives, my advice is "HALT" take a break and really ask GOD to really heighten your Discernment that you will feel, smell, sense and know when something does not appear right. There is no more "Private" relationships, your loved ones need to know what you are doing and who you are doing it with - and if the other individual have a problem with that, that means you do not need to continue that friendship/relationship. Even the ones that. we know, we really don't know. It sounds scary, it is. God did not give us the Spirit of Fear, but of Love and a Sound Mind.

Unfortunately, this is the times that we are in, and the enemy wants us on his team, further away from God and living in sin is the goal of the enemies.

I am Praying for the minds of all people no matter the race, gender or political views ..... once the enemy attacks the minds of God's people, the enemy has total control over everything that you do.

Praying for Peace, Safety and Love in the name of Jesus.
