The best advice my father ever gave was passed down from his dad: Never try to solve problems at night, because they always seem worse than they do in the morning. Though I sometimes lack the self-control to follow this sage suggestion, I’ve learned over the years that it’s true. Darkness can make even the smallest obstacle seem insurmountable.

I find this to be SO true. How about you?

It is so true! Even waiting just a few hours can help get more perspective :)

Amen!

Hold on, my child; joy comes in the morning! The darkest hour means dawn is just in sight."

I grew up with monsters and the boogy man under the bed.
Didn't know God's word back then.
God is good!
That is so true - many a good sleep has been ruined by worry over a problem that would have been best left to daylight.
Maybe that is where the term "Just sleep on it" comes from.
Because that is what I grew up hearing. That and...
don't worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of it's own.
take care, Pat
Absolutely true!!

Oh yes. Letting a little time pass and looking at it with fresh eyes and mind can make a lot of difference!
It is very true.. Somehow the darkness always seems to make everything feel worse than it is..

My husband seems to face this more than I do. I know a big part of that is that he's so tired from work at the end of the day.
Great advise!
