Feeling Down

May Jesus who came to heal the broken hearted and to set at liberty them that are bruised hold you close to His heart. I pray that encouraging words and experiences will come your way.

I too join in prayer this morning that the soothing oil of joy in the Lord flow down over you, for true joy comes only from Him. May you have a fresh revelation today of just how much He loves you and me. And in your saddness, may you find the strength to praise His name, for that praise will cover you. As you hide under the shelter of His wings, I know that He will protect you, and keep you safe, as He brings you through. May our God of love caress you and tend you, and place people and opportunities for you that will manifest His presence, and soothe you in your saddness. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, and in agreement with you and kisstheson, and thank God that His Word is true!

Bless you, bless you, bless you . . . with all the spiritual blessings. And may what the enemy means for harm be of no effect as God turns it into good, for He alone is able and is faithful. As I pray for you, I feel such love and compassion for you that it reaffirms my confidence that He is there for you, turn your mind and your eyes upon Him.

In loving kindness and in Christ,

Here are some scriptures that help me when I am down:
(there really is power in the Word, it is stronger than all our thoughts and feelings, and reciting, reading or meditating on His Word activates that overcoming power of the Holy Spirit, which Jesus bled and died to give us)

Isaiah 61:1-3 (KJV) 1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

May we all feel His anointing today as we proclaim His Word, bind up our broken hearts, and are set free! He will give us beauty for ashes so we can glorify Him.
