Scripture informs us that our attitude performs an important role when confronting what appears to be overwhelming our capacity to cope.
Matthew 9:29 "According to your faith be it unto you"
Our faith in Our Father's counselling guiding us through our life's difficult periods ensures that we are provided with all the advice that we will need to navigate our way out of our dilemmas into resolving all that is oppressing us into depression.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
My morning prayers reflect the day facing me whether it be grey, and rainy when I thank God for replenshing the reservoirs, and irrigating our fields to grow our crops....or sunny, with blue skies encouraging us to spend time outdoors appreciating the gifts of life with an optimistic mind set.
The divine presence living within our life encourages us to speak with Him, asking all that we will need to live another day filled with hope, that we will overcome our easy choice to surrender to our fear of failing to cope with our struggles.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” ~ Romans 15:13
