A good night’s sleep is always helpful when I am down. Lack of sunshine and warmth can give me the blues and cause me to scurry to the comfort of a warm bed. Sufficient unto the day is the troubles thereof.
When I awake and my worries, anxieties or depression are still heavy on my mind I have a quick prayer, Help Lord.
Whatever time of the day if I am overcome with loneliness, despair or despondency I would get a cup of coffee and something sweet and relax. I would listen to some uplifting music, or a worship song. If there is one I really like I would play it over and over. I would pray for someone else or pick up the phone and talk to a friend and encourage them. If that fails I would share with my husband. He often sees things from a different perspective.
Having something to look forward to doing often gets me out of the blues. The down time will come to pass.
It is springtime. The time for singing of birds has come. I will sing and be joyful as well.
Today, I am also in a place of warring off a heaviness. I’ve had the music cranked. I figure if the enemy wants to come after me he’ll have to listen to worship. I now know peace and rest are weapons of spiritual warfare. I’m encouraged also knowing that there is always breakthrough right after times like this. We are powerful over comers who can do anything in His strength!!!

Hi Kathleen, The enemy may come one way but he will flee from you seven. I can see you waiting upon The Lord. He will renew your strength. Angela
