Happy Monday to all. It's funny how God places things in front of you when you need them most. It's easy to get discouraged and it happens to all of us. Something just didn't go, or isn't going, as planned. You didn't get that raise or promotion, you're not healing as quickly as you want, revenues are down for your business in these tough economic times.
My morning devotion was focused on what we do when we are discouraged. What do our friends and family do or not do, when they see us discouraged or depressed. We are not immune to it, nor should we feel that something is wrong with us because we are discouraged or depressed. Abraham Lincoln, one of our greatest presidents in the US, fought clinical depression his entire life. When I say we are not alone in this struggle, I'm not just talking about he others that are suffering as well, but I'm talking about God's promise to be there for us when we experience discouragement. In Matthew 11:28, we hear Jesus say "Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest".
God does not want us to struggle with this alone. He is there for us with open arms, waiting to take that burden from our shoulders as long as we ask.
Pray often and don't your burdens weigh you down. Lift them up to Him and rest assured that if we ask anything according to His will hear us.
God Bless your Monday.
