It started yesterday,and today (Sunday) I feel disconnected somehow...I felt this way several weeks ago as I sat in church service. I did not feel a spirit of joy. I was not lighthearted. I felt a heavy weight. I prayed that if I had been disobedient or a disappointment in anyway, then in Jesus name, please forgive me. The feeling in me did not change for a few days.
When I woke up this morning, I was running late, tired, frustrated with both of my daughters, frustrated with some trials going on in my life, and I have recently been let down by a couple of friends. Right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed with feeling like a failure.
So, what to do? Well, I'm going to take my own advice...I'm going to get out my Bible. I'm going to spend some one on one time for the next hour doing what I've kinda been lazy about. When I'm done and I've put on my full suit of God's armour, I'll be ready to face the roller coaster knowing that putting my faith, trust, loving Him and putting Him front and center where He belongs will calm the storm.
I believe that sometimes, His Spirit is quiet and He let's us feel this way to draw us nearer to Him.
So next time you feel beat down, perhaps He wants to draw you near to give you peace in the storm allowing you to feel His perfect love and joy...
