Do you ever get the blues? You know the times—when the press of day-to-day life gets you down. Too much to do. Too many problems. Too little of some necessity but an abundance of some difficulty. No matter the cause, the result is the same: Your strength is zapped, your joy is crushed, and your hope needs to be rejuvenated. Whenever the blues threaten your day, try some of these blues-chasers:
Problem: Things seem impossible. Answer: All things are possible with God (Luke 18:27).
Problem: Life is often exhausting. Answer: Jesus offers rest for your soul (Matthew 11:28-30).
Problem: You can't forgive yourself. Answer: The Lord forgives all who confess their sins to Him (1 John 1:9).
Problem: You are afraid. Answer: God will strengthen and help you (Isaiah 41:10).
Problem: You are worried and anxious. Answer: Cast all your cares on God, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
Problem: You feel alone in this world. Answer: The Lord promises never to leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
Trust God's answers for the problems that come into your life. They'll help to chase the blues away. — Dave Branon
Do not doubt God's tender mercy,
Trust His Word and seek His way;
You will find His grace sufficient
For the burdens of today. —Anon.
No burden is too heavy for God's almighty arms.
