Do you ever wake up down? (I love oxymorons) Mornings aren’t my strong suit anyway, but what about those mornings you wake up to nothing wrong but feel upside down.
Possibly you are going through a period in your life where everything just feels off! Sort of like existing in neutral no real highs barely above low.
You might have some idea at the root of your funk, or you’re wandering around your life; all seems normal, and you are simply confused about the grey cloud that is hovering and why.
I am there. I am in a funk! I am a Christian, and I walk by faith and not by sight. I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior! I know when I stand on the banks of the rushing river that I will not be overtaken. I know that one day when I pass from this earth, I will wake in Heaven. I know that my Lord supplies all my needs. I know he will never leave or forsake me. I know I am loved and never alone! So why so down, oh my soul.
Who knows, bad dream last night I can’t remember! The world has many demands, and sometimes they just all catch up and feel like a big pile of dirty laundry. Whatever the case, whatever the emotion or mood, I need to realize precisely what it is; an emotion, a mood!
Time to climb out from under the pile and set at the foot of the cross and just visit with Jesus for a while, asking the Holy Spirit to fill me with his freshness and to remove the mildew. I may have to pray this prayer more than once and possibly throughout the day, but you know what? At some point, I will notice that my frown is upside down 😉
Don’t discredit moods or emotions; many are there because of something you are experiencing. Some are just in the air; the thing is, they are there and real, but you don’t have to keep them! Thank you for joining me today; I’m at the foot of the cross; meet you there! 🥰
