The Bible gives us some steps we can take to dispel these dark times of darkness as we look to Jesus  the &#8220;light of the world&#8221; (John 8:12):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Light&#8221; Up Our Heart Through Prayer<\/strong>  As Christians, we can pour out our heart to God when we&#8217;re feeling overwhelmed (Psalm 62:8). We can take our worries and frustrations to Him in prayer (Philippians 4:6-7). Another great idea, is to use a journal in writing down our prayers, so we can look back later to see how the Lord has answered us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Light&#8221; Up Our Mind With God&#8217;s Truth<\/strong>  When we willingly read and study God&#8217;s word every day (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:11), we allow His truth to challenge, permeate, and transform our incorrect thinking that life is hopeless  (Psalm 46:1; Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:20-24; 1 Peter 1:13-16).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Light&#8221; Up Our Life By Doing God&#8217;s Will<\/strong>  His will for us is to worship and serve Him. This will happen only if we stay involved in the Lord&#8217;s church, where we can worship and fellowship with other Christians,  serving Him (John 4:23-24; Hebrews 10:24-25). This will help us grow in our relationship with God and His people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whenever we feel the darkness of the blues begin to close in on us, let&#8217;s turn to Jesus, the <strong>Light<\/strong>. He will be our  ever faithful refuge (Psalm 62:7-8) and will give us the strength to keep going (Isaiah 49:5).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At one time or another, we&#8217;ve all experienced them, or at least listened to other people talk about them the blues.
