Often times in life we can find ourselves under what feels like a heavy-weight from— loss, failure, sin, tragedy, missed dreams, life pressures, and more. First, I want to encourage you that you’re not alone in feeling heavy depression like symptoms when you face difficulty, but you don’t have to be overcome by it.
Sometimes that overwhelmed feeling can come because of difficult times in life, but it can also come anytime you attempt to grow and advance in life.
The good news is that you don’t have to let it take you out, this spirit of heaviness can be lifted through a refreshing time of worship. Worry and fear come when our eyes get off Jesus, but worship puts Jesus in his rightful place in our lives again and allows Him to recapture our heart; in that close and refreshing position, you can resist that heaviness and rise above with renewed strength!
“To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.””
Isaiah 61:3 NKJV
