When you are down and discourage and you can't find anybody to talk to or if you did find someone and they are not helping you, what can you do to encourage and help yourself. Well if you are sitting there meditating on whatever problem or situation that it might be…..then STOP!!! DO NOT DO THAT. Everyone meditates on something but often it is on the wrong thing, or with the wrong focus. See one of the meanings for "meditate" means to murmur, and implies the moving of the lips and another means to converse with yourself. It is your "self talk" the way that you speak to yourself about the things in your life. It is in your mouth and the first thing you need to do is to start thinking on something positive and not to let another negative thought flow through your head. Dig deep within yourself and find your inner strength and use that to start bringing you back to life. Get up go to your Word and find scriptures that pertain to your situation and start to speak to that situation. If you are depressed meditate The joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and before you know it you will rejoicing the Lord and you will be back to yourself. Let your meditation be about the Lord, about His love, His Word, His promises, and about His goodness. When you do that, you will be able to cast your cares on the Lord, with strong confidence that He cares about everything going on in your life. (1 Peter 5:7) We as children of God have the victory all we have to do is keep our eyes on him.
