+But you, LORD, are my shield! You are my glory! You are the one who restores me.
-Psalms 3:3 CEB
+We may not always feel like praising God, but taking a few moments to talk to the Lord and thank Him for His goodness is one of the most powerful weapons we have to fight discouragement and depression.
+We literally invite God’s presence into our situation, which brings us His strength, peace and joy.
+Praising the Lord in the midst of our pain is the greatest thing we can do.
+Because when we choose to fix our attention on God and rejoice in the good things He has done, we make Him bigger than our problems!
+We can’t always change everything that is happening around us, but God’s presence will change us—how we think, how we feel, and how we view our circumstances.
+The next time you encounter a situation that threatens to pull you down, make a decision to turn to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to fill you with hope.
+Choose to believe whatGodsays instead of your feelings. Fill your mind and mouth with positive, hopeful things from God’s Word.
+Because no matter what you’re going through, or what your mind may be telling you, God loves you, and He is always ready and willing to help you.
๐ Father, Your Word says that You are the Lifter of my head. So, I invite You into my situation right now and ask You to infuse me with Your hope and strength.
+Help me to recognize any negative thoughts and begin to replace them with positive, hopeful thoughts from Your Word.
+In my times of pain or sorrow, I want to make a habit of running to You for help—to receive strength and joy in Your presence.
+Be with me every moment of this day, and help me to focus my eyes on You and Your goodness when life feels difficult. In Jesus’ name, Amen. ☝️๐๐ป๐ค๐ช
