   I read this post a few days ago and I check your site out from time to time to see if you are still low. I got you in your prayers.

   Hope to see you up and posting again soon.

   Your Brother

   Not to minimize your slump, but I can certainly relate on a frequent basis. Neither of us has resisted sin to the shedding of blood, and yet Christ died for us while we were yet His enemy, only due to being loved before the foundation of the world, and that purely from the gracious will of God. Now if God had left us to ourselves– as to Esau, then we would indeed have reason to mourn. While we should still grieve our sin, we rejoice that no one shall lay charge against God’s elect, and nothing shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. Yet I know myself, in those valleys, the rote knowledge of these truths does not bring the immediate balm, even so God upholds us by His promise.

   G’day,
   Low and melancholic eh?
   Proves that you are human.
   All of us go through times when we feel down,depressed,melancholic etc.

   These are the times that we like to by ourselves,or at least we think we do.

   Here it is 4.43am downunder and I am replying to a blog on the other side of the world.
   Now,that is crazy!!

   Praying for you this early hour of the morning my brother.

   cheers

   Hi sir. I just dropped by your blog after finding the link on the PB. I am certainly praying for you. Perhaps this will help you:

   21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
   22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
   23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
   Lamentations 3: 21-23

   Again, I am most certainly praying for you sir.

   Ann Marie

   I was reading something about this just a day or two ago. Something by a puritan but can’t recall what or whom. But the cure for melancholy so the writer said, was to meditate on the cross and on our sin.

   I have to fight melanchlia, for reasons you may be aware of a little, with my phyiscal suffering while in total aloneness day after day.. what I do find, is when I do succumb, its because I’m looking inwards, and not upwards.

   R,

   Thanks for the prayers.

   Ann Marie,

   Thank you as well, and feel free to call me “Josh,” if you’re so inclined.

   Deejay,

   Yes. I know. In times past I have found myself doing that very thing. I feel so incredibly lethargic in my “spiritual walk” right now. There’s no excuse, and I’m not making any. I’m just sayin’ how it is. I’m a pretty wretched worm.

   My brother In-Christ.
   I love you as Christ loves you.
   I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.
   If you are hurting then I am hurting also.
   I am waiting patiently for His return because I know that I will be ‘glorified’
   This present time we will go through trials and tribulations,tested by fire,refined and chastened.
   It was meant to be.
   But in the end,we will be like Christ.
   without spot or blemish.

   cheers
