We all have moments when we cannot seem to explain why we are so sad, why we feel so down, so low- that we end up crying! And the worst part is, we don’t even know why we’re crying!
I seem to be getting a lot of those moments recently. I believe I am being attacked spiritually, past sins creep up, guilt comes knocking, feeling of worthlessness, of hopelessness… so what do I when I get attacked?
What should we do when we feel down?
Psalm 42:5 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.
I turn to God’s Word and I put my hope in Him, in His Promises. I remind myself of what the Bible says and not focus on how I feel. I think of all the things that I don’t deserve, that God has blessed me with- my husband, my noah, my family, this day that I am alive and well! I remember all the times God picked me up and rescued me and how He helped me overcome all the challenges.
Oh I will put my hope in the One True God! The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In Jesus, the lover of my soul and I remind myself that nothing can ever separate me from the love of God and that I am more than a conqueror!
When you fill your mind with God’s Word, His promises and assurance of His Grace, there won’t be room for the enemy’s lies.
“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 8:31-39
