I want to be perfectly honest with all of you my friends. Please pray for me. I am sitting outdoors this morning, trying to get ahold of myself and shake this heaviness I feel in my heart since last week. It is all I can do to make my self get up and get going and do what I need to do. I have no energy and desire to do any of the things I normally enjoy, I am fighting off this depression that seems to be looming about me. A feeling of dread and thoughts that something really bad is going to occur just wont leave. I am trying to stay positive, push aside the bad thoughts, replacing them with good and pure thoughts, but out of no where...... the negative pops up. I feel very sad, feeling alone and I know several of you can relate. I do know when we feel depressed, so often we isolate ourselves and withdraw from who and what we normally enjoy, so since I know this, I am making myself do what I dont feel like doing. Reading todays passage of A Year In The Now, by Bishop Jim Swilley is right on and very appropriate for me. I do find this advice to help. I will share what I have read this morning. ....but David encouraged and strengthened himself in The Lord his God. ~~~~~ 1Samuel 30:6 Today I will not feel sorry for myself for any reason. If God is for me, who can be against me? Today, I will not fall into sadness or depression. The joy of The Lord is my strength! Today I will not be negative in my thoughts or words. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me! Today I will not be afraid of anything. God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind! Today I will keep a positive outlook on life.... Respond proactively to ALL circumstances.... Forgive my offenders.... Pray for my enemies.... See the glass as half full.... Surround my self with positive and encouraging people.... Count my blessings and be thankful for all of them....keep smiling....be a blessing to someone else.....do the right thing.... Let go of yesterday and all that happened..... Look toward to tomorrow.... Keep my eyes on Jesus.... Go do something special for a loved one.... Encourage someone else.... Pray without ceasing....Encourage myself! Well, I have a lot to do today from that list, I refuse to give into this depression, please pray for me today if you will. Thank-you!
