How I take a break from sadness and despair

Daily writing promptDo you need a break? From what?View all responses

Who doesn’t need a break from the misery, anger, and hopelessness we see all around us? Too often our attempts to ignore it only show us the emptiness within us. What can we do?

Here’s how I break with sadness and despair and leave it behind. I go to the proven source of hope that has worked to empower people and fill them with inner peace for two thousand years. Yes. I turn to the risen Jesus Christ.

Feeling empty? Your heart is designed for God’s presence. Substitutes will never fully fulfill it.

Endowed With Splendor

Stir up your awareness
Of Christ in you.
Focus your attentiveness
On His living presence.
Keep Him always
In your consciousness
So that all that you
Think, say, and do
Will be led by His Spirit
Overflowing from within you
As rivers of rushing water
Empowered by His liveliness.

Don’t encase Christ
In a legal case
Or a religious place.
Behold His face
Everyplace.

You can daily experience the wonderful presence of the risen Jesus. Let Him keep your heart always overflowing with the splendor of His presence! See more of Jesus. “We look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are unseen.” Enjoy Jesus! Let Him fill you with His glorious presence. Celebrate Christ! Praise, worship, and adore Him.
