Default Ups and Downs

UPS AND DOWNS

Everyday brings new opportunities for us. We won’t always see them. We won’t always want to act on them. We won’t always feel like reaching out and making a difference. We all have times when we are down about something. We all have times where we feel rejected, bored or lonely. Our feelings can keep us from doing God’s will. The best way to get rid of those feelings quickly is to give them to God. He can move us from our down feelings and bring us closer to Him so we are up again.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” (NLT)

Dear Lord, help us to never give up. Help us when we have both ups and downs to stay focused on You. Remind us to come to You daily to be renewed so we will know despite what happens to us, You are with us. So we will remember nothing in this world is greater than You. We pray when we are down, You will lift us up reminding us of Your great blessings and Your plan for us. We give You our day, Lord, and pray You will help us resist our negative feelings and focus on doing Your will. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

When we get feelings of being alone, we can know God is with us and lean on Him to comfort us.

The best way to fight our feelings which keep us from doing God’s will is to give them to God.

Putting our focus on God will help us take the focus off of our negative feelings.

Even when we are in a great mood and all seems to be going well, we still need to be sure we are focused on and obeying God.

When we get feelings of laziness and boredom, we should focus on doing God’s will and doing it enthusiastically.

Romans 12:11 “Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.” (NLT)

Focus: In our ups and our downs, God is with us. Never forget that and always focus on Him and doing His will.
