Praise and Prayer

Praise Me when you have a hard time seeing a reason. Praise Me by force, rather than by feeling. Praise Me by faith, rather than by sight. Do not wait to feel like praising Me. Do not wait for there to be an exterior “reason” to praise Me. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house, where the windows of his upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus 1 Chronicles 16:34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever

Stronger Than Logic

Depression is a chain that is much stronger than logic. Logic breaks chains as well as feathers break down doors. Logic and understanding are useless against the mighty power of the chain of depression. The only power that can break the chain and set you free is for you to praise Me in the face of the circumstances. Praise Me against all logic. Nahum 1:13 So now, I will break his yoke bar from upon you, And I will tear off your shackles. Isaiah 58:6 Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke? Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Psalm 66:19-20 But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me. Psalm 59:16 But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress.

Guard your heart

Remember that emotions cover up Truth. This is seen when someone you had strong feelings toward has been out of your life for many years and you begin to notice that your attitude toward them has changed. Or after you go through a trial that terrified you before you began, you often change your mind about the level of difficulty when it is over. Proverbs 29:11 A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.  Galatians 5:16-24 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, … Isaiah 30:25 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” But you were unwilling,
