How's your spirit?

Hi everyone, hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving!!! It's great to be back. This thanksgiving was probably the worst Thanksgiving I've ever had. Without going into details this was the first Thanksgiving I didn't get to spend with my whole family. Because of this I was pretty bummed out on Thanksgiving which led to a not so great weekend. It's funny how we can let one thing ruin an entire weekend. I like how Solomon puts this:
²² A cheerful heart is good medicine,
   but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Prov. 17:22)
Another way to translate this is a heart in good spirits is good medicine... After reading this today I can see how this is. Because I let my situation "crush my spirit", I did feel like my bones were all dried up. I just kind of felt lazy and really not in the mood to do anything. But how can this be? How can I say that I love Jesus and I'm so thankful for what he's done for me yet I still let a little situation like this ruin me? I'm not here to say that you can never feel sad or hurt but what I did was let something take the place of the joy that the Lord has given me. Instead of being thankful for what the Lord has done and have faith that he is at work in my family I allowed the enemy to rob me of my joy.
I know for some people the holidays are a tough time, that's what I'm dealing with at the moment. But there is someone that we have that can and will take away all the hurt and pain that we are feeling, his name is Jesus. Jesus will never fail you, he will always be there for you and he will always love you!!! The one thing I've have been learning in this season of my life is to just put all my trust in the Lord. By doing this I believe that this is the way we don't allow our spirits to be crushed. If we put all our hope and faith in the one who can't fail us then we will have nothing to worry about.
So my prayer for us today is that we cast all our cares, worries, stresses, and pains on the Lord. I pray for healing in Jesus Name for those of us who's spirits are crushed. I pray for the Lord to renew a right spirit in us and I pray that our hearts would be made cheerful. I pray for strength and faith for us to continue to let God be God.
