Feeling down today
Roy Coates:
Not sure what exactly is wrong. I feel a pressure if you will. Money, kids, confusion, general trouble. I have what I need for today. Looking for guidance from Jesus and prayers from you. Blessing and mercy to you all
Dave in Tenn:
Hi Roy. Pressure is what is needed to mold us into the image of Christ.
Man, I may be wrong in this, but just as "...the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered...", sometimes I think He renews our minds, molds us like clay, burns out dross--all the works He does in and for us--EVEN WHEN we don't know what is going on or have any idea how to co-operate. We are HIS workmanship, after all. It seems to be true in my life. I hope you can draw something refreshing out of that as well.
These trials are not pleasant, but we can still rejoice in them. We won't know how or why until after it's all over. We can't be on the 'mountain top' all the time, or else we will forget how pleasant it is to be there. He won't hide forever.
God be with you.

Hi Roy..I`ll be praying for you..I know, too what that feels like. I sometimes feel down and it`s more like an oppression . Like a sort of burden. I do know I`m glad when it lifts! Whatever is causing it, like Dave said God uses those times to mold us..hang in there and feel the prayers over you and also God`s love.
