Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit.Psalm 51:12 AMP Bible Gateway
Do you ever feel like your joy is zapped and you just need a fresh wind of the Holy Spirit to blow over you? I think all of us do at some point. Could be due to weather or situations in your life.
Are you going through something today and can’t seem to shake the gloominess? I think about this time of year the stress of expectations of Thanksgiving and Christmas set in and maybe not for men as much but for a lady unless you have the overflowing gift of hospitality and entertaining it can be overwhelming if you allow it to. Another party, potluck, office event, gift exchange and you start to lose your joy.
Don’t allow unrealistic expectations to get you in a funk. Be yourself and do your own thing. Don’t let the culture or world squeeze you into its’ mold of what things need to look like. The 2004 Hollywood movie Christmas With the Kranks depicted a family who decided to do their own thing but it backfired on them when the HOA was upset they were not going to be putting up their decorations. Watch it as it is cute. Now go breathe in breathe out and enjoy your life.
PRAYER: I need you Lord each day to be my guide and my comforter. Forgive me when I allow the enemy to get me stressed out. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
