Rough days

Good morning ladies!
Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to go in a dark room somewhere and cry? It feels like the whole world is against you; like nothing you do is right; and like no one really cares about how you feel. I had one of those days yesterday. I know it is all in my head, because my family was very concerned about me and wanted me to talk - but I just didn't have the words to express how I was feeling.

If you know how that feels, I'm sorry. If you don't - be grateful.

I just thank God that His mercies are new every morning. That each new day is a chance to start over; to make things right; to try again, hopefully without failing or falling. I thank God that He "knows the plans He has for me; plans to prosper me and not to harm me; plans to give me hope and a future." (Jeremiah 35:11) Even when I can't see what He could possibly be trying to do to me or in me, He knows. That is where our faith comes in. We have to rest in Him, knowing that He is waiting there in the dark room to hold us while we cry. We have to rest in Him, knowing that the new day will come and that He will wipe out tears away, shove us out the door, and say "Go and Live, because I have set you free!"

I hope you ladies will live today as a new day. That you will wipe your tears away and hold your head high, knowing that you have the God of the universe backing you up!

Pray for me today. Pray for each other. Pray for yourself.
Have a good day!

Melanie

  1. I look at each day now and realize the truth about spiritual warfare...I feel that if we see it as a rough day how do we not know it is just that or more? How do we define the difference? It is all the same? Should we always be guarded or is that when we miss great things too? I find myself asking so many questions lately that I kow I have heard the answer to but I keep reminding myself that daily I need to refocus for the better.
