The joy of the Lord is my strength, despite life's circumstances, which make my moods fluctuate. In a vulnerable situation, underhoused at my uncle's house, he chases me away like a child, and I have to leave his house to find a place to stay. These are the struggles, but despite the struggle, we are always victorious. According to 1 John 5:4 and 1 John 4:4
I've been unsuccessful in my efforts to find a place to rest my head. I can't get a place at a school with a friend, but I've been unsuccessful with church property. Lord, I can't bear it anymore: hunger and thirst, marital breakdown and delay, life delay, joblessness, financial deprivation, and total humiliation in my family and society!! Lord, come to my aid and rescue!! In 1998, I was brutally expelled by the same uncle when I was still a student. It wasn't until 2003, when I finished my studies, that we partially resolved the conflict. I got married, but he completely refused to give me the letter to ask for the hand of the husband who had cast me out!! But in all these things, I am still victorious. 1 John 5:4 and 1 John 4:4. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8.
Today I feel broken as a person. The brokenness is due to my injury and I feel that this low period of my life is affecting my work, my life and my journey in yoga. I cannot function as well as when I’m healthy and fit. The dip forces me to slow down, and that gives me discomfort and the jittery feeling of not being on the go, or producing something. But thank you for providing this piece of article to make me rethink emotions and just be with them, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. Eventually this period will be a past lesson to look back upon.
Wise suggestions! We are not our emotions. By accepting their purpose as what our bodies our heart and souls have intended -- a notification that maybe are not following our truth and that it is giving us a chance ... as you suggest to look at it and examine it for what it is and for what it is not.
It will not last forever and it does not define us. By realizing this we can change our mind about how we feel and react... we have the power. To do that!
Today I woke up feeling “flat” but I couldn’t find the words… after sitting myself down and pouring a glass of water to take a sigh and some compassionate awareness that I was feeling off… this notification lit up on my coffee table - it was this piece. I am a therapist, devoted girlfriend, aspiring defender of humankind… and sometimes I forget I can feel this way too… eventhough I don’t necessarily let anyone see it… but this is the right place- thank you for providing this space. 🙏🏻
Great article and it’s definitely such a relief when we can remind ourselves that we don’t have to be happy all the time! It definitely takes the pressure off on some of those days when maintaining mental health can be challenging!
Thank you for sharing. As someone who's overwhelmed and feels like they're underperforming and being unnecessarily rude and impatient, it's comforting to read these words.
Hello my family!!
The joy of the Lord is my strength, despite life's circumstances, which make my moods fluctuate.

What can I do to have complete peace!!
