April 21 Devotion - When we feel down emotionally



This evening I learnt through Facebook about a friend going through a tough time emotionally, so I searched the Bible for God’s relief and support for the times when we feel perplexed/ anxious/sad/depressed/blue/worried or run out of motivation to continue. I found God saying:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
The Lord is near to you because you have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:17-20
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9   
All things will work together for good for you because you love God, Romans 8:28  
Make sure to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7


I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and deep inseparable love. Lord, I thank you for knowing every emotion we go through and for having an answer and support for me today. Strengthen me Lord to be of good courage. Thank You Lord that during my period of weakness Your strength is made perfect. Help me Lord to pray continuously. I rejoice in the assurance that You are with me God wherever I am, that all things will work together for good for me, and that I will rejoice because Your peace God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus; in whose Holy Name I pray. To Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
