About once a month for a few days, I feel a little blue--in general, just not quite myself. It's been linked back to hormones (mostly since being sick for so long really took a toll on my body, and it's still trying to readjust itself). I hate to admit it, but my faith just doesn't feel the same during these times. Why, I don't know. All I know is that I really don't like it. I don't like feeling further from God. That is probably the last thing on earth that I would ever want to experience. God is my Father and His son Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and I refuse to forget that or drift from either of them.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
~Psalm 56:3-4 (KJV)
I don't understand why I go through a bout of the blues every month, but there must be a reason for it, otherwise God wouldn't put me through it. Maybe I have to learn something. Maybe someone has to learn something from me. I just don't know. Hence why I have to trust God. Only He knows the exact plan and how things are interconnected. No matter how hard I might try, I can't see how events will play out ahead of time, nor can I change God's plan. And that's okay. There is far too much to take care of on my own. I know that I can't do it alone--I need God's guidance. With Him, I have nothing to fear. This body I'm in is just a temporary vessel, which means that it's prone to illness and weakness and other infirmities, so why fret over it? If I let God take care of and strengthen my soul, the body will follow suit to the best of its abilities. And whatever God says will be, will be. That thought alone should give anyone a feeling of relief.
Lord, thank You for this day. It turned out to be so beautiful! Thank You for my family, friends, and pets; please watch over them, bless them, and keep them safe. Thank You, Lord, for all of the precious time that I get to spend with them. I can't thank You enough for them, for they are all my best earthly blessing. Thank You for the brave men and women who defend Your name and this country; please bless them with strength and courage and bring them home safe. Please also watch over their family and friends and bless them with peace and serenity during times of separation and/or loss. Please watch over those who need Your guidance most--those who are sick, misjudged, mistreated, misunderstood, underprivileged, impoverished, and/or lacking nourishment (either physical or spiritual). Please bless them with good Christian family members and friends, and please shine Your loving light on them to bring them closer to You. Lord, I ask that You please cleanse me of my sins and continue to lead me down Your path. I love You, Lord, with all my heart and soul and every inch of my being. Thank You for who I am and what I have. You are my one and only Lord and Savior now and forever, no matter what! I will always be Your loving daughter, regardless of what happens. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.
Love and God Bless,
M.C.
