God's Devotionals: Promises to Those Battling the Blues

Beating the Blues..

Imogen Rayne AAB BSCOM
Do you ever feel like you are alone, when you are in the midst of life's storm? Do you ever wonder where God is, as the bricks of life start to crumble around you? It is natural to get angry or afraid, but you don't have to let it consume your mind. Sometimes, it is easy to forget all of God's promises, which he made just for you. So, here is a verse for you to copy and memorize, for whenever you feel abandoned or blue.

Deuteronomy 30: 8, "And the Lord, he it is that do go before thee; he will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."(KJV)

Have faith and believe that he is with you always, no matter where you are. As you recite, imagine a spiritual blanket of peace and comfort for you to rest in. You will begin a transition in a new person that you have always wanted to be. Remember, he chose you to be a soldier in his army, who is able to stand in the face of trials and tribulations. God will lovingly bring to your knees, so you can become stronger and stand in the midst of life's trials.

Each day he wants to give you more wisdom, which found in the Bible. He will shape your life and mold you in his grace, while chasing the blues away. God doesn't want you to feel alone or to fear his presence. Instead, he wants us to crave the meat of his word and personal time with him. When you find your comfort in his arms, grow spiritually by allowing you to experience these trials. Your spiritual father knows that you are not perfect and that you will fail, but his mercy is there waiting to catch you.

The next memory verse is Romans 3:23, "For we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."(KJV)

Fortunately, he forgives you for your mistakes and he welcomes you back into his comforting embrace. But, you must be sincere and willing to learn what he has to teach you. When Life is scary or out of control, you must turn to him. Always remember that God won't give you more than you can bear, since he is with you always. Learn more about his promises to you, by spending time with his word every day.

Remember, God is always in control! So, give him the reins and let him guide your path to spiritual happiness. You will find unconditional love and forgiveness, which is beyond any human understanding or capabilities. By allowing him to mold you into a new person, you become fully protected by God's spiritual armor. Therefore, as you grow, you will find the spiritual peace and rest that you have always longed for.

    Thank you. Without God we have nothing. My favorite verse is Isaiah 40:31. "They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

    All so true. Thanks for a great article. We must remember, though, that some people have physical causes for their depression and need medical help in addition to their spiritual faith. God can use doctors to perform His miracles. But I agree with you that He can help us with everything we do. Keep it up!
