Is Self-Pity and Issue?

My immediate response is a resounding "Yes!" - at least at times when things just aren't going right in my life - such as poor health, little money, the aging "process!" (I think that sounds like a recent devotional of Sarah Young about trying to control so many things and people in my life!)

The words in today's devotional that got my attention were about self-pity being a "slimy, bottomless pit;" (refer to the scripture from Psalm) a pit with no bottom to it means that I would keep sliding further and further down into it! What a scary thought! I don't want to go there and certainly need help when I do! I thank God for the hope He gives and for His undying, comforting love that lifts me out of the "pit!"

How do you stay away from self-pity?
