Every now and then, I wake up with a mind that convinces me everything is hopeless, and a heart that allows me to feel that way. I literally just wake up to "feeling" that way sometimes, feeling that there's no way out, no chance of getting better and the task at hand is just too great.
Today was one of those days -- I felt, therefore it was true. It took some reading, reflecting & a nap to snap me out of this. I suspect that this mind & heart deception comes from many things: my general outlook on everything, the lack of discipline to hope & trust in God and/or my personality that is shaped from my past experiences. It is one nasty one-two, followed by a hook.
Remedies? Putting off the focus on me and lay it back to God. Crazy love by Francis Chan paints the truth about God's character, His love & helped me to do that today. Life isn't about me or you -- so brothers/sister/friends, please keep reminding me.
