It doesn’t happen often, but
in my times of being down in the dumps, I am usually made aware that I have
drifted into a deep Pit.
Struggling in a black hole, a Pity Party and am simply “Feeling sorry for myself.”
Struggling in a black hole, a Pity Party and am simply “Feeling sorry for myself.”
Psalms 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why
art thou disquieted within me? hope in
God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my
God.
Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come
upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Usually it is because I am
overwhelmed and must set aside some duties
however important they may be.
When I am willing to release
some of what I hold so tightly, then I find the capability to Trust.
"Are you willing to live
the Life I give you?" This question
from the Lord is so pungent and powerful.
And a similar question "Do you want my will or what you
desire?"
Another question follows closely on its heels, "Will you trust
Me?"
It is good to spend time
listening when we pray. We do love to do
all the talking and for most of us, listening proves difficult, but necessary.
The wicked flee when no man
pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion. —Proverbs 28:1
This is the heritage of the righteous. We are warriors with enemies to overcome. One of our strongest enemies is fear with its family members of worry and depression.
This should be one of our
favorite verses, For I know the plans I have for
you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11, NIV

I love that verse and the one in Timothy, "For you were not born with the spirit of timidity..."
Fear is powerful, but our Father is not. Great advice to listen when we pray. I slip into the melancholy land as well. Good advice, sister.
Thank you for this much-needed dose of encouragement. I've been hit with a bout of the *sads* in the last week or so. I'm praying that the Lord will hold me strong during this time...
GOD BLESS!
