Andrew Chapman offers eight small steps you can take without pretending everything is fine. You can begin with just one step; you do not need to complete a checklist or make yourself feel better on command.

Notes/takeaways:
- Stop treating a bad day as a judgment on your faith.
- Pray, “Father, I turn my heart's affection back to you.”
- Make room for joy and ask God for peace without demanding instant relief.
- Worship or pray honestly, including in tongues if that is part of your practice.
- Ask what is true about you and about God in this situation; weigh impressions against Scripture and Jesus' character.
- Identify a harmful belief and speak what is true.
- Contact a friend and ask them to pray.
- Go for a walk if you can.
Scripture: John 14; Acts 14:17.
