Waking up on the Wrong Side of the Bed

Sometimes our lives feel overwhelmed with difficulty. Things aren't going the way we thought they should. Sometimes our sadness comes from direct losses. At other times we wake up depressed for no appearance reason. Our circumstances have not changed overnight. We just feel sad.

In either case, we are wise to remember Jesus' promise, "I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Helper, that he may abide with you forever - the Spirit of Truth..." (John 14:16).

Meditate on the fact that the Holy Spirit is with you and allow the peace of God rule your emotions (Colossians 3:15; John 14:27).
