Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God— soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God.
Psalms 42:11
Bad Memories can haunt us. Memories of relationship break-ups, childhood trauma, loved ones gone, beaten up or other painful experiences, often leave permanent impressions on our minds, as well as affecting our inner most spirit. Often it seems our addictions followed in the wake of torment suffered. Must we be forever subject to the torment? No! It can take time to overcome our problems, but God can and will erase the unpleasantness because NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.
Many of us wallow in our pasts and sink easily into the harbour of such memories. Ask forgiveness for allowing these feelings to overcome what you know is your new reality. Psalm 42 suggests the simple method of remembering God and the good things as we battle against our bad memories. We must disqualify the potency of attack and the tendency to dwell in what was through concentrating of the positive that now exists.
denounce the devil, who feeds you poisonous ideas on your own worth. Pray to God, delve into His precious word and be mentally safeguarded by it. we have a Savior, His name is Jesus Christ and He gives us the power we need to tackle any problem life and the world through at us.
