Really Bad Day
Everyone has a “bad day” every now and then. There will be times when you’re on top of the world and things are going great. Then all of a sudden, one phone call and your whole world falls apart. Dreams shattered, friendships destroyed, marriages broken, jobs lost, or a hundred other possible catastrophes. Even if the ones you love most in life pass away, don’t lose hope. No matter what, God is there for you, so trust in Him always! Many times, people blame God and get angry whenever things go wrong, but it’s not God’s fault. He doesn’t rejoice if you’re having a bad day - He wants to help you. The Bible says in Psalm 34:17, “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles.” When you feel like you have nothing left to live for, cling to Jesus. When life gets dark and dreary, remember that Jesus is your light, your strength, your everything. Stay close to Him and don’t let go. Deuteronomy 33:27 tells us, “The eternal God is your refuge, and His everlasting arms are under you.” Pray for God’s power and courage and then put into motion the “four Rs” - Re-Set, Re-Adjust, Re-Start, and Re-Focus... as many times as you need to - just don’t quit. And don’t waste another moment worrying about the things that you have no control over. Remember this: when you’re having a really bad day, even in the most horrific circumstances, turn your eyes away from your painful situation and look to Jesus - for His light always shines.
