Life can get a little hectic and overwhelming at times and can be taxing on the soul. We can get a little downcast and depressed when things don’t seem to go the way we thought they would or we make bad decisions that have detrimental outcomes. We as followers of Jesus Christ have a hope that the rest of the world doesn’t have. This is a hope that give us a joy that is unspeakable, a love that is unimaginable, and peace that is incomprehensible. That will only come as we put our hope in God and not the current affairs of this world.
You may ask, “how did I get to this place of being so downcast?” There are a few things that if not dealt with will drive us to a place of being downcast and depressed. First make sure you pay attention to the “rest” that you get. When you are tired physically you are more susceptible to the attacks of the enemy. Second you have to allow God’s love to cast out the fears you have within. When you don’t you start to believe the lies of the enemy and you take up offenses. Lastly don’t allow the conflict in your life to steal your peace no matter whether they are within your control or not.
God is near to those who are downcast and He wants to lift them up. Why so downcast? Put your hope in God. He and He alone can bring you the joy, peace, and love that can change the world.
