What do you do when you've had a bad day?

What do you do when you've a bad day? Just curious? Sometimes we get down and out...sometimes we feel hopeless and no scripture can make us feel better. We might even pray and if we don't physically feel a change right at that moment---we continue to stay defeated. We are all aware that WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS! And you better believe you are! But, what do you do when you just get into the worst funk and you can't seem to shake it? You might be down on yourself...you might allow someone else's issues to overtake you...what ever the case.. what do you do? We all handle bad days differently. We might cry right away, we might hold it in until we are in a quite place all alone, then let out a wild sound, we might call a friend, listen to soothing music. I want to hear what makes you feel better. Oh and you just might get your favorite snack food and over indulge. LOL. Once again we all handle it differently. But, one thing is certain, our first step should always be....take it to God! In Nehemiah 1:6 it states, "When I heard these things I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted. and prayed before the God of heaven." So we see it's okay to have a good cry, Nehemiah heard some disturbing stuff....he didn't run to the liquor, he didn't run to the weed, he didn't start cutting........But, he did cry and then he went to God. We have to get to a place that we don't let our issues overtake us. Yes, they are very real and they hurt like heck! But, we have to re-wire our thinking and not automatically do destructive things when we have a bad day. We have to recognize it, but as I've said before, we don't have to go through it alone. We have to take destructive behavior and replace them with constructive behaviors! And that is taking it to God in prayer. Isaiah 64:8 says, "We are the clay, and you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." So when our cars break down or a nail gets chipped---we know that we have to automatically take it the dealer or to the expert, because they know better than we do. If God made us, why do we try and fix things ourselves? We have a warranty with God that never, ever expires. When something breaks down in our lives, we should automatically take it to him. Tell daddy what the problem is and where it hurts!
