When Happiness Seems Far Away...

Sometimes when we are down, we just don’t feel God near.  We don’t want to praise Him or worship Him, we just can’t.  At these times, He is still God.  He never changes.  His love never changes.  He understands our pain.  Jesus suffered all of these pains, loneliness, fear, isolation, torture.  We have a King that has been through our sufferings.  He loves us and WILL comfort us during these times.  Reach out to Him even when you don’t feel like it.  As the song says, “I choose to say Blessed by Your Name”.

Remember we will have ups and downs in this world.  Stressors can make the depression worse.  If you are not feeling normal, can’t laugh, tired, cry for no reason, you may need to increase medicines or get up and get busy doing something.  Exercise can release endorphins that stimulate the brain.  Blessings to you on this journey we call life.
