Whether you call it depression, a funk or unhappiness, whenever things start going in the wrong direction, it’s hard to snap yourself out of it. Sometimes a vacation, getting away from the mundane will do the trick. Other people try to allot time from busy schedules for activities which bring them joy. If these attempts fail, your condition likely involves an eroding soul.
After dwelling upon my current situation, I tried to back track to ascertain where this all began. I only had to go back a few months to discover that my life has become void of goals, planning and vision. Subsequently, I am aimlessly wandering without any direction, purpose or vigor for life. To stop the bleeding so to speak, I must begin to reconsider my priorities, restructure my schedule and seek discernment from God.
The prophet Hosea proclaimed that people without wisdom or vision will perish, Hosea 4:6. Modern motivational speakers claim, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail!” Meanwhile, a tiny voice in my head suggests that if I invest my time in what I was created to do, I will once again be able to say, “it is well with my soul.” If you find yourself in a similar stage in life, may the Lord answer your cry for help by healing your eroding soul.
