A Bleh day

Have you ever had one of those days? Nothing bad really happens, you're just having a bad day. Even when you try to get closer to God, you feel very far. I had one of those days earlier in the week. I think it's because of the CRCT. We have to sit in a room for two hours even if we finish the test in 30 minutes, and we can't talk or anything. Yeah. For some reason, ( This may sound crazy.) I think this distanced me from God. I know that may sound rediculous, but it really did. My mind set was on how dumb the test was, and how parranoid the administrators are about the whole thing. I didn't even think to acknowledge that no matter what my opinion was, I would still have to take the CRCT. Once I realized how far I was from the heart of God, I turned on the worship songs and started reading my Bible. Well, it didn't do much for me. I was laying there in my bed with a stagnent spirit. It seemed like nothing I did was helping. Now I know some of you experience way worse things than taking the CRCT, but this still applies to your situation. No matter what the circumstances, trust in the Lord.

Proverbs 3:5,6: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own
understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."

Even if it seems like nothing works, still pray and rejoice. It sounds ludicrous. Why would you rejoice for the bad things?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Things like that make you have bad days. The problem I have with this, is that I very easily let it get me down. Even if the event isn't really a situation worth making me upset, I sometimes blow it out of proportion. We all have times where we feel horrible and just want to crawl up in a little ball and go to sleep, but there is a timing for everything. For proof, just read Ecclesiastes 3. There is a reason that you are going through this, and in the end it will help you, as long as you trust in the Lord. Just remember, no matter how badly you mess up, Jesus still loves you and wants to get to know you better.

Thanks for reading!
