Have you ever been in a deep funk! Like #girlstrugglingforreal! ha ha If I'm completely honest last week I was the girl strugglin for real! I never want to use this platform to put myself out there as "girl got it all together!" I'm human, just like you! Girl we all need lots of Jesus & coffee! Can I get an AMEN! ha ha
Ok but for real! If your in a funk, girl keep reading! So the week before my so called funk I went to Youth Camp with my church! Y'all it was amazing! Teens giving their lives to Jesus, lots of tears, worship, healings, prophetic words & more! Beautiful! No reason to come back & be in a funk!
When I came back I knew I would be tired so I decided to take the weekend off! That weekend ended up being a whole week! Struggle bus! Hello funk settling in... I didn't want to workout, read my Bible, I wanted to give up on this Ministry, I found out my uncle was placed in ICU, I got some unexpected bills in the mail & exc.
It was a week! I got mad it didn't make since! How can I come back from an amazing week of Jesus to struggle! Ugh! Anyone else been there? Total funk! Throughout this week God kept brining up the word SURRENDER in my spirit.
I don't know about you but when I hear that word it makes me want to run! Why couldn't I of got another word? I ended up surrendering to God! I just gave Him everything! I gave Him the funk! I can't say everything turned out magical & bright but the weight is lifted!
When you are in a funk the first thing is you have to do is surrender! Even if you don't know exactly what you are surrendering! Give your emotions, feelings, laziness, no motivation & exc.. to Jesus! Lay it down you might not feel a magical release after & that's ok! You gave what you could to God & He will do the rest!
WAYS TO HELP THE STRUGGLE:
Surrender!
Read your Bible, workout, exc... even if you don't want too! Change your space up take your Bible to the coffee shop, workout outside, exc... Keep moving forward!
Stay away from social media. When your strugglin stop the scroll! You don't need to see Suzy down the street livin it up at the beach! That will put you in a deeper funk! The enemy will come in & start telling you lies about yourself. You will also start playing the comparison game!
Go out with your friends! Talk to them about how you are feeling! Sometimes Godly advice is that thing you need to push you forward.
Listen to sermons, worship music, journal, fast if you feel led, exc..
Do your hair & makeup! Sounds silly but sometimes it changes your mood! Makes you feel a little better!
I promise you it will get better! Surrender it & watch God do something amazing with it! I would love for you to leave a comment below telling us how you get out of a funk! Help some other girls out!
Love your Kingdom Sister,
Jessica
