Friday, March 14, 2014 "Are You Downcast Today? Look Up!"

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10

We all experience those days where we just feel like giving up. We reach our threshold and just feel hopeless. Some contribute it to their circumstances while others blame mood swings. Whatever you are facing that has you feeling overwhelmed or downtrodden, look up to Jesus. It is not always easy for the struggles we face are very debilitating sometimes. I have been there. I try not to allow my mind to go too deep. If I feel sad or depressed, I try to remind myself that I am a child of God and no weapon formed against me will ever prosper. I know that I am in His will and He blesses those who are obedient to Him. When I remind myself of these truths I then pray differently for I begin to see it is just the enemy trying to create doubt and fear in my heart. He tries to bring out all the things that are not good and then he tries to blame me for those things. Listen we have all made mistakes and we have all gotten off the narrow path of righteousness but the good Lord forgives those that repent before Him therefore any sin is washed away when we repent. No need to hang on. No need to dwell. No need to suffer. Instead rejoice in the new day. Turn it around by changing your mindset. Do no allow another minute of another day to go by where you feel worthless or feel bad about yourself. He loves you. He forgives you. He is with you. Believe in Him because He believes in you. 

Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 43:5
