God’s Remedy for Discouragement and Sadness
Why are you discouraged, and your heart so sad? Putting your hope in God and praising Him brings light and life to your situation. When we feel discouraged and our heart gets sad from time to time, that’s your fellowship with God meter pointing to the red. We need a consistent flow of the Lord’s nourishment for our human spirit no different than we need food for our bodies. Our human spirits need to be fed to keep our spiritual wellbeing intact. When our spiritual wellbeing is in jeopardy, it will affect our mind and eventually our bodies. We can be in perfect shape, a well exercised machine ready for duty. Then for no apparent reason we don’t feel like our normal selves. Your mind hasn’t been altered from its normal thought patterns, so what’s wrong with you? We are affected mentally, and physically when our heart (spirit) isn’t right. We can easily become discouraged or sad hearted when we are spiritually exhausted. We are admonished to build ourselves up on our Most Holy Faith praying in the Spirit, which is praying God’s perfect will back to him and building our spirits up at the same time (Jude 1:20). If you are discouraged and sad hearted there’s help today. Praying in the Holy Spirit is a free gift from God (1 Corinthians 14:1-40), to all His servants willing to go deeper with Him.
