HomeI find that several factors can attribute to fear and depression and hopelessness. Often it can be because I’m overworked, tired and haven’t really gotten any good exercise. Exercise I have found to be huge in correcting my moods and mental outlook.
Most importantly, I find that I often lose perspective because I’m not consistently filling my mind with God’s word, thoughts and meditations on God and His glory and work that has freed me from sin, saved me from sin and has destined me to eternity with Him. When all is said and done, no matter what happens here to me or my body, as long He perseveres me in my faith and trust in Christ, I will be with Him forever. And that’s a lot better than here. He has promised to finish the work that He has started. If I keep reading and studying, I’m constantly reminded of His greatness, goodness, mightiness and ableness to save me. That gives a better outlook and mindset over all things than anything else. Watching the news, fearing what “might” happen, trusting in men, the world, money, jobs, those things are all fleeting and temporal.
today is much better. I have thought about Him, prayed, trusted. I have worked out. I have considered eternity. I can stand up under all the pressures that is my life right now. Praise God for He is good and His love endures forever.
