Are you a person who keeps things bottled up? Even if it is a bunch of positive things? It can be difficult to share thoughts and feelings, especially if you have been hurt in the past.
I have seen it, though, that God puts people in your life at just the right time. Perhaps this is to prevent the bottled up thoughts and experiences from becoming overwhelming.
If you are not a person that keeps things bottled up, gently urge your loved ones to release their stress and anxiety. Maybe a gentle reminder is all it would take to spill the bottle of pent up emotions.
Pray for those who are fearful of sharing their feelings so openly.
