Pity parties only happen in the pit of despair. I hate it when I stumble into that pit.

The only way I know to shut down the pity party is to focus on the goodness of God, praise Him for all He has done for me  and remind myself that He constantly and intently loves me.

Psalm 40:1-3  NLT

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.

He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.
