Trust God With Your Pain

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.1 Peter 5:10

The pain I am referring to is emotional pain that is a result of changes in life that you can’t understand. Recently I woke up and felt like I couldn’t even get out of bed. My husband said “Are you depressed” and yes I guess I was. 

How do overcome discouragement? You may not feel up to diving into the word of God but why not talk to Alexa or your Echo dot and say “Alexa play K Love radio” and hear praise music to lift your spirits. 

A huge way to get out of the doldrums is to look for ways to help others. Make it happen. Cook a meal. Ring a Salvation Army bell. Buy gifts for a needy family. Write a note to a friend or neighbor and mail it, yes with a stamp. Make God lift you up and set your feet to dancing! 

PRAYER: I thank you Lord for creating sunshine to brighten the world and lift my spirits. Shine on me so in turn I can shine in another’s life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
