How to Stop Feeling Bad and Start Enjoying Lifeનમૂનો

Assessing Soul Health

Your soul is the source of thoughts, emotions and choices you make—minute by minute, day by day.

A broken soul creates a broken life, broken relationships and shattered dreams. Soul sickness will eventually turn into whole sickness.

If that’s how you’re feeling—soul sick—don’t despair. There is hope. Your next days can become your best days. You can begin to step into the life God intended because soul health turns into whole health.

As you begin the path to recovery, know there is no shame in experiencing a dark night, dark week, dark month, or dark year or even dark years. Everyone does. Jesus understands and is present—to hear you, heal you and carry you through to renewed soul health.

Emotional pain is not a sin—it is pain in need of healing. It is a signal that you need the Healer to come and revive hope for a new path. That help is here.

The great scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “All men seek happiness . . . This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves.”

There is no higher or deeper desire in the human heart than happiness. It is the most popular pursuit, one that drives every decision and action in our lives. The tragedy of this search is not that you cannot find happiness but that you may be searching for it in the wrong places.

Instead of turning to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, food, gambling, shopping, sex, pornography, social media or any other substitute, you need to discover how to turn to Jesus and His Word. Jesus wants you full of joy. And He wants you to be happy.

Prayer: Beginning today, I invite You, God, to heal me everywhere I’m hurting—spirit, soul and body. I invite You to interrupt my fears, anxieties, loneliness and pain. Let Your pure light crash through the dark and painful places of my soul. Thank You for hearing me, healing me and carrying me through to the other side. Thank You for giving me a life of abundance, happiness and health to the fullest, until it overflows. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
