Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.Luke 9:23-24 NIV, Bible Gateway
How is your joy these days? Not happiness but joy. Has the condition of the world or concern for a loved one gotten you so down you are unable to have fellowship daily with the Lord? If so it is time to stir up that joy in your heart and soar for the Lord.
Problems of life will be ever present but you do not need to let them rob you of the joy of serving the Lord and sharing Christ with others. I am sure many reading this today may have things weighing you down and to dwell on them only makes you sink faster.
Right now,it is time to purpose in your heart, to let go of junk that you constantly dwell on and much of it can not humanly change. Make your thoughts be lifted up to heavenly thoughts. Don't worry about people who don't like you or think like you but talk to God in prayer and be lifted up out of the mire that wants to suck you under.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus it is easy to get weighed down with concerns of life and let the enemy try to tear me apart. I choose to stay uplifted and give my issues to you and stay in an attitude of prayer. In Jesus' name. Amen.
