“A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired.” (Proverbs 17:22 MSG)
Some people are naturally optimistic. I’m not one of them. The worrywart in me regularly squashes any positive thoughts that pop up. This is exhausting. How do I treat this disease of negativity? According to the above proverb, a joyful heart is the medicine I need.
The land of gloom and doom is under the power of an evil ruler. Dwelling in this place saps your strength. The kingdom of God, on the other hand, is built on trust that is beyond earthly circumstances. It is not affected by emotional tides. Living here fills you with a deep joy that is based on complete confidence in God’s care and provision.
Lord, please lift up my spirit from the pits of gloom and teach me to have a cheerful disposition.
Amen for sure. I want you to find this spot. Hormone imbalance more often than not robs us of the feeling optimism, replacing it with worry, overtaking our bodies. This can start as early as our pre-teen years and it goes for both sexes.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate what hormone imbalance can do to your mind, body and soul. Do not be afraid to seek out a doctor that is both a medical and naturopathic doctor.
