Let's Go Back to the Bible

When nothing is going right

Did you ever have one of those days when nothing seemed to be going right? From the very moment the day began, there seemed to be a cloud of failure and negativity that hovered over 

every event of the day? What should you do on those days when all you want to do is crawl back into bed and sleep it all away?

Take a few moments and make a list: on one side, go ahead and list every bad thing that has happened so far today; on the other side, list every blessing, no matter how insignificant or how obvious, that has graced your day. Counting your blessings will help put things (even bad things) into perspective. Then, spend a few minutes in prayer, thanking God for your blessings and then begging God to help you with your struggles. Cast your cares on Him. Plead with Him. Pour out your heart to Him. Then, continue that prayer throughout the day.

The bad things will not go away, but leaning on God will help keep you properly balanced.
