I rarely understand the reason everyone is so contentious

Heck I rarely understand the arguments, let alone the contention. ;) I just read the Bible, what it says is what it says.

There are four lines in "Rugby Chapel" which are often with me. The son is speaking to his father, Dr. Arnold of Rugby:

If, in the paths of the world,
Stones might have wounded thy feet,
Toil or dejection have tried
Thy spirit, of that we saw nothing..

Sometimes we wake feeling "down", and we feel like that all day long for no reason that we can discover -- only it is so.
It is useless to try to feel different; trying does not touch feelings. It is useless to argue with oneself; feelings elude arguments. Be patient -- feelings are like the mists that cover the mountains in misty weather. The mists pass; the mountains abide. Turn to your Father, tell Him you know that He loves you whether you feel it or not, and that you know that He is with you whether you feel His presence or not. "I beseech Thee," said one long ago, "let the power of my Lord be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying . . . " I suggest that you ask the Holy Spirit to bring some "saying" of His to your mind that has helped you in the past. That saying wherein He has caused us to trust, "the same is my comfort in my trouble: for Thy word hath quickened me."
Our Lord can enable us so to live that of our inward "toil and dejection" others see nothing.
