As believers we
know that God is always there with us … in us. But we all experience times He
seems far away. I call them ‘dry times’ in the spirit. We must learn how best to
deal with these times. I use music. And not just any music, God’s … the Psalms.
These songs tell of God’s wondrous love, care and protection.
Psalm 139:7-12,
tells us how close God really is … Always!
So I would
counsel you to read/sing through the Psalms, focusing on the words. And find
one that strikes a chord within your heart to repeat when things seem
especially tough going.
I would also encourage
you to memorize some Bible verses that lift your countenance and inspire you.
Being able to do battle with God’s word is our Key to Victory against Satan. It
is the only defensive weapon in the Christian’s armory. God gave us our Armor
in Ephesians 6:10-18. When you read through this list you will see that it
covers us very well, except for our backs … He expects us to stand in battle
with our back against that of a fellow Warrior of Christ. That Christian at you
back is your Battle Buddy, and you are his/hers. If you have ever heard the
saying; “I’ve got your back,” this is exactly what it means.
As Christians
we have each other’s backs. Our prayers for one another give you the strength
and courage you need to battle on. And your prayers for others give them what they
lack for their battle, too.
So, to wrap
this up: Sing unto the Lord (or just make a JOYFUL noise), recite scripture and pray for others in need and
God will see you, and others, through the tough times.
