de·jec·tion
/diˈjekSHən/
A sad and depressed state; low spirits: downhearted, blue, desolate, and fragmented
I woke up dejected today. One minute I'm sleeping peacefully and the next I'm awake and feeling blue. I found myself quiet and on the edge of being grouchy the entire day. I read somewhere dejection replaces the fruit of the Spirit with negativity. I recognized my grumpy mood but that wasn't enough, I needed to SHIFT my mind and thoughts to the LORD.
GOD loves me
This one thought - all in a subconscious moment - overwhelmed me as I heard His words echo you are mine. Had I resisted this moment of truth, I would have settled for despondency.
Rather,
I spoke the words...
it just is...
the way it is...
...help me LORD to feel your grace in this moment.
Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.
do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
As for me, I call to God,
and the Lord saves me.
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
As for me, I call to God,
and the Lord saves me.
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
He rescues me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me. God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me. God, who is enthroned from of old,
who does not change—
Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
But as for me, I trust in you.
