Not Being Okay Part 2

 

    We all have days that we are not okay.  The question is are you okay with not being okay or does it destroy you?  Are you able to still hold onto hope?  Do you search for God in the circumstances?  Is it of your own making and if so what can you do to change things?  When you are not okay, you need to ask God and yourself questions.  Do not just sit there and do nothing.

    God is patient when we are impatient.  When life does not meet our expectations, we get upset.  It can drive us to dark places or it can drive us toward Jesus.  No being okay sometimes can come down to trust.  Do you trust that God is with you where you are?  Do you trust that He will get you through this?  Do you trust Him not to let it destroy you?  Do you trust God not to leave you at the mercy of Satan?

    God's way is bigger than your vision.  He sees your part clearly, but He also sees everyone's else part too.  He know everyone's feelings.  He cares about the feelings of the people making your life hard just as much as He cares about your feelings.

    Instead of turning away or against God when life goes bad, choose to enjoy His presence.  If you are a true Christian, then the Holy Spirit lives in your heart.  He will counsel, guide, encourage, and direct you.  He will never leave you alone to face what you are facing without support.

    God turns your imperfections into something beautiful.  You just have to give them over to Him first.  When you choose to follow Jesus and do things God's Way, then you find acceptance.  You are never alone, so don't live like you are alone.  If you put a limit on your mental status, then you are defeating yourself.  Open your heart and mind to God and learn all sorts of truth that can bring you comfort.

    Do not be afraid or discouraged when life does not go your way.  Trust that God will show Himself in His own way.  It will be the way that you need to keep moving forward.  He will encourage you to leave your godless ways to find all the healing you need.  Be bold and walk in faith.  Walk in confidence that you are not alone to face life and that God loves you.  Uphold the strength to live out your faith without deviating from the path He made for you.
