What I do when I Feel Down


 Whenever I feel down, I have to step back and reestablish my belief system and pull myself back to a higher plane.  I then recommit to God that he is in control (since we need to believe that He is).  I also remember the Spirit telling me that when much is given, much is required.  The Spirit told me, that since I wasn’t given much (parental neglect, poor modeling, various kinds of abuse) much is not required of me.  My capacity is where it is at and only through the grace of God (Jesus Christ) will that change.  It bothers me that I tend to pretend a lot around others or inadvertently convey to others that I have it all together.  Or, maybe everyone knows that I am a mess but are too kind to say anything.

So, stay calm, relax, put your trust in God and BE STILL.  As soon as you can be still, inspiration will come.  Being Still is an accumulation of letting go, trusting, fearing not, and meekness – all wrapped up in a meditative state – waiting the Lord to give you direction (in His own due time).  If our minds are too cluttered we are not in a place to receive revelation.
