They warned me about this at Teen Challenge. Some days, you'll wake up, and you won't feel Christian. You'll feel...well, I feel...anything but.

How do you handle this?
 
Read aloud or say from memory your favorite verse/verses of Scripture, Christ_empowered /

Me? I'll sing a bit of The Byrds' hit from 1965/66: "Turn! Turn! Turn!"... It's based on Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 (NASB):

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!"

Good thing our salvation isn't based on how we feel, eh?
Feelings come and go, but God is always there, with you no matter how severe the pain. Don't give up hope.
