"Down And Out"

"Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul." Psalm 86:4

Ever feel down- discouraged, depressed, just don't think you can make it or go on? Has your soul lost its joy? Does sadness feel your heart? You can't stay like that.  You can't stay in that condition because it only gets worse. You need some "joy". Joy lifts you up. It's your strength. It wipes away depression, it brings fears into submission. Joy gives you a whole new outlook. It assures you of victory.

If you have lost your joy this morning, if you need a fresh touch of joy, if you are feeling "down and out" then you need to go to the Lord and "lift your soul up to Him". Ask Him to "rejoice your soul". Ask Him to give you your joy back. Ask Him to touch your life and remove the heaviness. Too often we will stay in these "conditions" when there is help available to us. Too often we go around with no joy, no peace, no direction, no strength, because we don't turn to God and ask Him for what we need. Don't spend another day like this. You have not because you ask not. When you ask you will receive. When you come to Him He'll not send you away empty handed. When you call out to the Lord He will answer you. When you lift up your soul to Him to fill you with joy, He will.

Have a great day. Don't spend one more day feeling "down and out", lift up your soul to the Lord and let Him restore your joy.
