There is a trend going on where people around us want to show others that they are being emotional or "emo". I'm not too sure what it means but every day we show our emotionless faces to the people around us. I also feel that I outwardly show my depression a lot recently.
We all wonder, "What is God's will for me?"
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 provides 3 answers. God's will is that every Christian live a life of joy, prayer and thankfulness at all times.
Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
A cheerful, joy-filled heart is good medicine to us (Proverbs 17:22) and a blessing to others.
I am trying hard to apply this to my life but there are times where we all feel moody. So continuous prayer helps us focus on God's purpose for us and to help us wait for his divine intervention.
