Why are you downcast, O my soul? Hope In God!

The other day I was feeling down...I didn't really know why, but I felt sad and in a funk I couldn't quite shake. It "just so happened" that the Bible app verse of the day spoke exactly into what i was feeling, so I decided to memorize it and kept repeating it to myself throughout the day. Meditating on the truths of this verse brought me SO much comfort. If you're feeling sad, then this video is the perfect place to be because we are going to unpack this Bible verse. Whether you are feeling discouraged, disappointed, in despair or even depressed...this passage has DEEP comfort to offer us all. I pray its truths would minister to your heart. 🤍

    The action step that was most helpful to me was clinging to faith - reminding myself that I wouldn't always feel what I was feeling in that moment and reminding myself of God's faithfulness 🤍 which of the four action steps do you think will be most helpful to you?

    Just keep looking straight ahead with Jesus. Why would I feel that way if I had Jesus within me? Never allow your emotions get the best of you. This is only a feeling, and it will not determine who you are in the eyes of the Lord. Remember who you are in the Lord; you are a Child of God who is more than a conqueror. Jesus is Lord!

    Thank you for this! It really helps to identify why you are even sad because I find myself getting even MORE sad when I don’t know why. But when I take a short few minutes to analyze what’s going on in my mind, I can pinpoint where my emotions are coming from. That even makes it easier to cast down thought patterns that I know are not true. I’m relieved instantly when I remember God has been working with me and confirming things for me in that area so it’s no need to be sad anyway. It’s literally a casting down of wrongful thinking and remembering what God has said. It is a very consistent practice we must do because emotions fluctuate all the time. So using the scripture 2Corinthians 10:5 along with the scripture you mentioned is just a recipe for success lol ❤
