I actually like those days
November 10th, 2008
I often have days where I wake up feeling absolutely horrible. I used to hate them, because I’d fuss around trying to figure out what to do with myself–get productive, eat food, get outside, do something. Often one of those would help some, but it’d very often end in frustration. Finally, I’d desperately cry out to God to help, reading the Word, putting on worship music, seeking him in prayer. And then after a while I’d be fine.
This morning I realized that, whatever the cause, it’s an instant cue for me to seek God. It’s great! I wish more mornings began with me desperately needing and seeking the Lord. I asked him to make it happen more often, although I wouldn’t mind if he kept the desire around but found a way to make it happen without me feeling like death in the morning.

yes! thanks for an honest post. i often feel like that too (especially last year), and wonder what was wrong with me. now i’m glad to be honest before the Lord every morning… and i feel more ready and refreshed for the day. most of the time.

I like this baby. I love that those moments can be used to show us how desperately we need Jesus even when we are caught up in our false contentment and and self sufficiency,which always seems to re-emerge. I know that he will take away the suckiness, and will instead leave you with a never ending desire to immediately go to him…while eating or going outside
