Feeling Blah!? In a funk??

Lately, I have been feeling kind of Blah!! I have some thoughts as to why, but I have also noticed that many others in the area, (many, many others) are having the blahs!! too. Some of the blahs come from worry and concern, other parts come from feeling like I am stuck in a rutt, but some scriptures came to me that are helping me get out of my funk.

Matthew 6: 25-34 reminded me that I should not worry for it does no good. God will provide all that I need if I "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all of these things will be given unto you as well.". This scripture made me feel a little better. But I still felt stuck in a rutt. Then I thought that this funk feeling of depression, feeling not sure of the future or what is going on now made me realize I was looking inward not only to myself, but that I was looking at myself. When we are in a funk, we are focused inwardly. The only way to get out of a funk is to focus on the Lord and obeying his commands. -- Love the Lord and love others.

I opened my windows today on January 9th to let in the nice "spring" breeze. This was refreshing . I then got my kids occupied for a few minutes and I sat down and read scripture. Further on in Matthew 7: 7-12 the Lord tells us to turn to Him. He doesn't leave us stranded. He is always there, we just have to look and ask. With an open heart and mind, He will direct and the funky Blahs will be lifted.
