“It helps to talk” – “He pai ake te korero”

“It helps to talk.” “Find someone to talk to.”

That is the message I find while reading the magazine “UPSTART”. The message is not only in english, but also in Maori: “He pai ake te korero.”

Tell someone that you are feeling sad, that you are feeling lost, that you are feeling lonely, that you are feeling angry, is the message.

But it is also pointed out to talk to someone you can trust,

Do you have a friend you can trust? Is there an elder you can trust? Is there a kaumatua you can trust? Is there a youth leader you can trust?

I have a friend I can really trust. My friend is the Lord Jesus Christ. He says in John 15:14:

“‘You are my friends if you do what I command.'”

I have learned that: “‘Prayer is talking with Jesus.'” “‘Prayer is the soul of man talking to God.'”

The Lord Jesus Christ has found me and I talk to the Lord Jesus Christ about everything.
