Have you ever felt yourself beginning to

Drift Into Darkness ?

Into a spot that if you park – it may just result in you getting got!

Do not let your mind go there. Be aware of what you are thinking about.

Where is your attention going.

Don’t focus on the things that are bringing you despair.

I know it may be painful. I know you may see no end. I know you may even want to give in.

Don’t do it.

Snap yourself out of it.

You’re not cooked!

Don’t believe me?!? I don’t blame you.

When I look at the ingredients and lack thereof – I’m just like can we be done with this?!?

Listen….

Even if you are cooked – God is chef’n up something spectacular with your story!

Cling to Jesus! Cling to God’s Word like it’s the only food you eat!

You just gotta’ keep living!

Let go of it all. Let the tears fall.

Aren’t you curious to know what the plot twist is?

Get outside in the sun and go say hi to someone. Inquire about them to get out of your own struggles.

If you are feeling unheard by God himself – choose to force yourself into his presence, even if you want to resist it.

Play worship music. Play scriptures. Especially when you don’t want to.

You matter.

You are valuable.

Recognize the gifts that are right before you – don’t think so far ahead or look that far behind.

The tables have been turned in your favor – keep going.

Love,
