How gracious God is when u fall...and how important community is

Pslams 42:5
Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,my Savious and my God.

Basically it has been a bad day for me... during the weekend, i felt so comforted by His love, so close to Him, and suddenly satan attacked me like a thief in the night, unexpectedly.
I fell into his trap straight at once, forgotten all the memory verses and the lessons. Depression, sadness, guilt straight away pierced through my heart,then i felt God pulling me back to Him, when i fell there was this invisible arm that held me there, His love...grace...and mercy was still there, He had always been there beside me, comforting me with His love and all...

Ya and He also sent a community to encourage and help me...thanks guys...
galvs told me bout this verse

1Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually;
give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus

it really taught me alot... i pondered...where does my joy come from?
well my joy comes from God...and the reason why i am feeling down..depressed and guilty, is that the devil is manipulating my feelings, trying to bring me down, and away from God...and he has somewhat suceeded...but now,im determined to return to God with all my heart, with fasting, weeping and mourning like it is said in Joel 2:12...

the community God sent me was so encouraging that i no longer felt that emptiness in me.. that it was filled again..

hope this experience encourages u and tells u that God will always be with you no matter what ..and that it is whether u accept Him or not... Remember that the devil can manipulate ur feelings and things around u..but never ur faith in God..so stand strong in God under all circumstance...
