Hope for the Blues Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8 Youve felt it yourself, or at least listened to other people talk about it- the blues, times of dark discouragement. Lynette Joy, in an article for christianwomantoday, tells of several steps we take during those dark times to turn towards Jesus, the Light of the World: Light up your heart through prayer. Pour out your heart to God when youre feeling overwhelmed (Psalm 62:8). Take your anxieties to Him in prayer ( Philippians 4:6-7). And if you journal or write down your prayers, you can look back later to see how The Lord as answered you. Light up your mind with truth. Read the Word of God every day, at least for a few minutes. Let His truth challenge, permeate, and transform your incorrect thinking that life is hopeless (Psalm 46:1; Romans 12:2). Light up your life by doing Gods will. His will for you is to worship and serve Him. Stay involved in your church where you can worship and fellowship with others and serve Him (Hebrews 10:25). This will help you grow in your trust of a God. When we feel darkness begin to close in on us, we need to turn to Jesus, the Light. He will be a refuge (Psalm 62:7-8) and will give us the strength to keep going. You wont stumble in the dark if you walk in the light of Gods Word. Todays excerpts from the book Our Daily Bread
