157 – Have you ever had one of those days...

You know, when you just feel down in the dumps, uninspired, and nothing seems to get you out of the doldrums? 

You sit there praying and it just seems like words? You try to read and study your Bible but even your favorite stories and verses seem empty and flat?

It happens to most of us at one point or another. 

So how do we get out of it?

Well, it may have very little to do with you. It may be the atmosphere you're in, the mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical atmosphere around you.

It's not the sailboat's fault when there's no wind to propel it forward. You many just need a little wind in your sails to get you going in the right direction.

In this week's episode, I talk about how to get out the spiritual doldrums and start going forward with your life. Some of the points I cover:

• Who has the wind in his fists? (Hint: Proverbs 30:4)
• What is the spiritual meaning of wind?
• What do you do when your down in the dumps and all your prayers and Bible study seem like a bunch of hollow words?
• The recipe for getting out of the doldrums (Hint: Psalm 42:11)
• The crucial importance of the word again in that verse
• The power of singing
• The power of gratitude

When your life feels like a sailboat out on the lake with no wind to move you forward, take a moment right now to start praising God. 

Pour your heart out in gratitude for all your blessings. 

Sing every hymn you can think of. Make up your own songs. 

This is one of the best ways to get some wind in your sails, to get your life moving in the right direction, and to feel the genuine inspiration of God’s presence in your life.
