If not, I feel ya! And you may be saying, “Wait?!” I thought this was supposed to encourage me and so how is THIS encouraging? Let it encourage you that we ALL have “those days”.

You know, “those days”…

when stuff is flying at you from every single angle?

when they have no idea what you are actually going through as they pile it on thick for even more to deal with?

when you get “admonished”, and you know it’s right. You receive it because you know you need it…but TODAY?!

when you are thinking, “How can I add one more drama-filled situation to my plate of things to navigate right now?”

when you sit and try and figure out “this one”!

A few of the best things to do on a day like, well, TODAY perhaps, or whenever it’s one of “those days” would be to:

Laugh in the face of the enemy who is trying to discourage you because you read the back of The Book and you already know, We win!

Love your way to Victory! Love never fails. How? joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, meekness, faithfulness, and self control…there is no situation in life that at least one of these fruit won’t come to your aid and help you overcome!

Cast your care over onto Him and refuse to pick it back up and carry it. This takes humility to acknowledge our shoulders aren’t big enough but His are!

Go to The Word and study to show yourself approved to deal properly with your current hairiest situations.

Call a friend who is wiser than you or a leader, coach, or mentor, humble yourself and seek wisdom. Or if one of them called you, receive what they say with meekness and choose to learn and grow with gratitude.

Do not allow yourself to become enmeshed with people who you need to be differentiated from.

Develop the habit of casting down vain imaginiations that exalt themselves above The Word. In other words, recognize victim mentality for example and bring it into subjection to The Word that says you are an overcomer. Let The Word change your mindset from victim to owner and own what you need to own and let go of the rest.

I could go on and on but the best, most spiritual thing for me to do at this point on this Monday is to go to sleep. Maybe, you, too!
