Discouraged. Frustrated. Hurt.
Surviving. trudging on but not very alive...
God help us!
I used to for years have worship music playing on repeat. My mom did this when I was rebellious too. I really feel it changes the spiritual atmosphere for the better.
When you have nothing to give its a great first step.
Also. I watched a recent video about how physically reading the Bible changes your spiritual life so significantly. It breaks patterns. He can speak directly to us through it. It opens your Spiritual eyes.
Lately with music and reading bits of the Bible regularly I honestly feel like a new person. I'm less interested in the trudging survival activities like watching tv, scrolling facebook or playing video games. Im more in tune spiritually feeling like He is speaking all the time- even through a kids movie! and Hes placing on my heart people and situations to pray for.
So. my enouragment... When youre in the desert places. Refuse to settle there. Turn your eyes, ears and attention to the things of God and He will meet you. 100% Im sure of it!
It feels like running and jumping into His arms.
Yes you will likely be overwhelmed and brought to tears that He embraces you and kisses you on the head like you never left.
Its ok to be humbled.
All glory to Him. Theres nothing good we can do on our own. Without Him we have nothing! We can be an absolute mess.
Hes always teaching us more about His love and how He would never turn His back on us. And the depth of forgiveness...
