Staying close to God despite your mood.
Maybe you are like me, and when you are struggling with your mood, you push God away. I know when I am depressed, I get angry with God and run away from Him. But it doesn't have to be like this! Despite your mood, you can still be close to God!
How?
By talking to Him daily and reading your Bible daily.
With any relationship, you have to spend time with them, talk to them, and learn about them to get to know them. It's the same thing with God! So by talking with Him daily and reading His word daily, you will start to build a close relationship with Him.
Remember: sometimes you won't feel like reading the Bible or talking to God. But it's important for your relationship with God that you do those things, despite how you feel. Yes, it will be hard. But yes, it will be worth it. A relationship with God, is the best relationship you will ever have.
Also remember: When you talk to God, be real with Him. You don't have to pretend to be happy in front of God. He already knows how you are feeling, so just be honest with Him. If you are angry with Him, tell Him that. It's important you be honest and open with God.
Verses:
"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."
Psalm 34:8 NIV
"Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones."
Isaiah 49:13 NIV
"GOD 's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I'm sticking with GOD (I say it over and over). He's all I've got left."
Lamentations 3:22-24 MSG
Prayer:
Dear God,
I want to be close with you. So I am going to start talking to you daily and reading Your Word daily. Please help me to remember to do that. Please come into my heart and help us build an amazing relationship.
I thank you for Son and all my many blessings.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.
