Highs and Lows

One of my biggest struggles, and I think every believer can relate to this, are the spiritual highs and lows. Some of the greatest Biblical Prophets did amazing feats with the power of God over them, and all of them experienced lows after being used mightily by God.

Why does this happen? The love I have for Jesus is very intense; so why haven’t I been consistently steady emotionally? This past week has been a spiritual high, and it followed a three week low that I struggled to make sense of. I reached out to spiritual giants who listened and encouraged me, and others who called me to ask if I was ok. God even brought a stranger into my life at this time who greatly encouraged me.

The consensus advice was that I should focus on my relationship with God. To draw close to Jesus, pray with God, consistently get in the Word (Bible), put aside time to spend in worshipping Him in song, and meditating on scriptures that speak to me. I feel like I am at the peak of this spiritual high and am staring at the drop to come, like a roller coaster. I feel uneasy because of this and don’t want to experience another low. So what am I going to do?

I am on the knees of my soul and lift up my heart up as high as I can to my heavenly Father. Take this heart O God, and fill me with the joy of your Salvation. Give me Your peace! I lay down all my desires into your hands. All I want is to feel your presence, your love, your voice and your unmerited favor. I Love you Jesus, I always need You!!!
