When You Are Feeling Down, Things You Can Do

Have you ever felt like you just didn't want to read the word, visit a church, or bother with anything spiritual?  If so, the following are some suggestions to keep you mentally and spiritually strong even if you don't feel like doing nothing but murmuring and complaining like the Israelites in the wilderness.

1.  Read the scriptures.

2.  Listen to others' testimonies.

3.  Use your prayer language.

4.  Pray.

5. Worship (without restriction.)

6.  Ponder on the things God has already been doing in your life. You may want to write down your thoughts, then reflect on them at a later date to see how God has brought you through.

7.  Sing.

8.  Ask someone to pray for you.

9.  Fast. (TV, food, Internet, phone, and people.)

10.  Scream.

11.  Cry.

12.  Lie down on the floor and don't move for a long time.

13.  Fall on your knees.

14. Sit quietly.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
