Sometimes a thought, a saying can save your life, your peace, and days of endless depression here are some Bible sayings to help through the sadness. I decided to collect all the things I think about and do when am in my sad moments. These bible-based solutions for sadness are not only my experiences but I have learned them also from some of the greatest minds that ever lived.
Everything may be screaming a billion things at you but what God has said about you is the only thing that truly matters because God said ‘ My plans towards you are of peace and to give you a good and expected end.’ Let’s see what God has said and done about the times of darkness.
1 TRUST GOD
He is who he says he is and you are who he says you are. The Word of God is the truth. As it is the truth and has a good report of you.
When you see and know what God has said about you then you can stand with confidence knowing all things work together for your good . It is only those who put their trust in their Maker that rejoice because only then can you be worried about nothing.
He will not leave you alone, he is with you, and as long as he is with you nothing can hurt you .Put your trust in the Lord and watch the space.
Knowing him as a caring and compassionate we know when we put our trust in him he will come and pick up, put the broken bits into place and our hearts will rejoice.
He says to be careful about nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.
He is with you in the valley ,on the mountain and he has promised to be with you all the way. His is power , Majesty ,beauty is all for your ood .
2 REMEMBER YOU ARE LOVED
God made you and he loves what they made. You are loved by the monarch of the universe and his jealousy is t you to defend you.
Regardless of what you’ve done , or said or how much you have messed God’s love remains constant .
He loves you the same regardless of what you have done or haven’t .He loves yu with an endless everlasting
I need you to understand you are loved by God.No matter the issue find peace and comfort in his love.He gave his life just that you wouldn’t have to struggle or face any kind of death.
He gave you his life so that you would enjoy it fully . He is proud of you, he loves you in your darkest moments . He is your peace in the storm.
You are his pride, his joy, the beloved of the Lord .His love is unfailing, unending and never changing. The Word says “The Beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety.”
You do not have to prove anything, there is space at his table for you. He gave you his best and because he loves you he would do it again and again just for you if he had to. You are under the shelter of his love.
Are you a part of the table now? He called you and surnamed you and loved you. Always remember you are his beloved
3 ENGAGE IN STRATEGIC PRAYER
In the family of God prayer is what we use to turn around situations, shift things in our favor, make the impossible possible, and move mountains. Prayer in its most basic forms is talking to the Father.
He loves to listen to you. Pour out your heart to him, David said I poured my complaint to him when my heart was overwhelmed.
Prayer is a system of exchange with our family from heaven. It’s how we import our natural possibilities which are in Jesus from the Father into our situations.
Prayer is how we exchange weakness for strength because as we look at him in prayer we are changed into his glorious image from Glory to Glory. As you behold you become.
When anything is not clear, pray because prayer is how we get direction, how we get peace, is how we get strength. The word says they go from Glory to Glory as many as appear before the LORD in ZION. We are assured that when we pray he hears us and if he hears us we have what we asked for.
He left us his name, his power and authority use it when you pray and watch the wonder you become. Child of God pray.
4 ENGAGE IN PRAISE.
Praise is our weapon of choice. It has the ability to shift the atmosphere because GOD is enthroned in the praises of his people.
It brings the environment of God into any situation. We know where God is there is absolute peace, joy, and perfection. God is omnipresent but his manifest presence or his glory is not everywhere.
So when we praise him for who he is, and what he has done we invite the same atmosphere that fostered the same miracles he did before and God’s glory and reproduce the same. Praise is intentionally seeing God’s goodness and telling him and everything about it.
It changes the atmosphere and changes the one praising and forces the good that had no reason happening to you to happen. The word says the anointing gives a spirit of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness which is stress or depression.
Praise is what you do when you are feeling down, depressed, and not yourself. As you praise everything else becomes smaller and he becomes bigger and before you know it a miracle has occurred.
Let the high praises of God be in their throats and a double-aged sword in their hands.
Praise : your weapon of choice.
5 REMEMBER ITS ALL GOOD
All things work together for your good.
There are things that are made for a version of you that is not yet here, that is the reason God takes his time to sharpen and prune you to be the best version of yourself . Whatever you are going through, it is all for your good.
No experience is ever wasted, even when the devil meant it to destroy you, God uses it to refine you and when you come out of the fire you are all brilliant. Some situations and people are like sandpaper to rub rough edges off you.
In the midst of the turmoil remember all things work together for your good. My children are rebels, all things work together for good. I lost my job: all things work together for your good. someone mistreated me remember all things work together for good. I am sick ; all things are working together for your God. God is on his throne and he knows you by name and he knows what he is doing . If you are reading this then know there is hope and the word assures us hope does not disappoint.
As you keep doing the right thing, keeping your mouth closed, being respectful, and being faithful your responsibilities are doing a work in you. You are developing, developing staying power and the excellencies of Christ.
Because we do not see the bigger picture we sometimes think we are forgotten yet there is never a moment we are forgotten.
In times like this when we cannot see the whole scene trust God and his whole word. When something bad happens iit’s only a small piece of the story when God shall bring the whole scene into view it shall be beautiful.
6 Be Joyful
You cannot let anyone’s bad attitude ruin your good one. You are anointed with the oil of joy and that is your superpower. The oil is not only at work in your good times but even more at work in your dark days. Happiness is something you decide to do ahead of time.
Joy is dependent on how you see things. One person can have this attitude: Ooh today I have to go buy groceries again, and another can say “God has blessed me with enough to buy groceries and today I get to buy groceries”. The only difference is in the way they see things. Appreciate the gift of today, put a song in your heart, and a smile on your lips. When we praise God the supernatural happens.
Studies have proven that the emotions we express outward are what our bodies begin to really experience for example when a person the expressions of an angry person their heartbeat begins to increase and if a person smiles their heartbeat slows down.
Be determined to enjoy your day your day. Wake up with a song, praise God, and put a smile on your face. Let no one take it away from you, guard it, and keep the smile there. Respond to everything like a child of God.
Let your peace and joy be in everything that comes in contact with you. You are an embodiment of peace let it show. Joy is an expression, an attitude, a phenomenon in the SPIRIT, and a shaker and mover in your life
smile
7 HEAR GOOD WORDS
Hearing words that you really need to hear will instantly heal you because it reinforces your FATIH for example being told a story of how someone was healed by the power of the Holy Spirit when you are sick will ignite your faith and immediately pull you out of the gloominess.
The word of GOD is the ultimate you need to hear.
The way you are reading this post you are hearing words that heal. Good words make your heart Merry. You need to have people you listen to often that help you hear good news and stir up the fire in you.
It may be your Pastor, a prayerful friend and they get to communicate God’s counsel. You can also fellowship with a group of believers and hear those good words. What you hear is what helps you fight the mental warfare.
That is the reason you need to feed on the word of God because it has the best report about you.
Once you understand this concept of a merry heart do not let anyone take it away from you, let no one talk you out of your positive expectation,your faith and your Hope
8 SPREAD THE LOVE
There is nothing as satisfying as seeing someone smile and knowing you are the reason they are smiling. The Word of GOD says the love of God has been poured out into our hearts.
We have the love of God and our main duty as sons and daughters of God is to love others and spread the love abroad.
You can spread the love of God by giving, sharing this post, paying someone a visit who is lonely and struggling, buy someone lunch. The ways are limitless.
You are a lover and when you are loving people you are in your most natural elements and everyone is happy in their elements.
Let love be your pursuit, the driving force. Let love become your trademark. Show the world the character of God by reflecting it
Decide to show someone a representation of the God that loves them. Let people be surprised at your kindness.
As you love people and show them kindness you are bringing out that which is abundant in you which is joy, love, and peace.
Show the world and everyone around the loving God in you. Freely you have been given freely give.
You are a conduit of love.
May you forever find peace and comfort, joy and love, compassion and mercy. May the LORD protect you and make you realize the depth of his love and the effects of his ultimate sacrifice in Jesus’ name.
You are the best you that this world will ever have. Live according to the word of God and let the world see GOD in you.
