Downer

December 14, 2006

I’ve been kind of down the past couple of days.  I have no reason to be down, I just feel that way.  So, if you think about it would you pray for me?  I felt a lot better today after I spent some time in the Word and prayer.  Ryan gave me a book by Jerry Bridges that is encouraging as well.  It’s times like these where I wish I could just turn off my brain and emotions and go on auto-pilot.  I’m sure my feelings will shift in a couple of days, and I hate to spend time being like this.  I don’t want to live based on my feelings, yet to quote Abraham, “It’s hard to obey!”  I’ve been blessed beyond measure in Christ…that is where my hope needs to be.

  1. I’m sorry you are down. I pray the Lord would give you grace, sister. I wish I could give you a hug . I will quote a good friend of mine (you) who encouraged me when I was down, “The Lord is good and He will see you through.”

    BTW, Do you mind me asking what book Ryan gave you? Talk to you soon.

  2. It is Jerry Bridges (one of Ry’s favorite authors), I Exalt You, O God. It’s a month long devotional on worship. I just started it, but it’s been helpful to get my thoughts on the right Person and off of me. Thanks for your prayers! I really miss you.

  3. I’m sorry you are so down Steph. The Lord is good and causes us to cry out to him in times like these. I often have know reason to be down and that makes it worse because then I feel bad for being down when I am so blessed and I should be joyful. John Piper did a conference on fighting for joy. I have listened to a bunch of his podcasts on this and they are so encouraging. I am sure Justin can burn the podcasts to cd if you would like.

    I am praying for you sister. We will have fun tonight:)
