You’re not alone! It’s a feeling shared by many at this time of the year. Short, cold, dark days, overspending and broken resolutions can all contribute and lead to feelings of low energy, sadness, and a lack of motivation, especially as we return to normal routines. Recognizing these feelings as a normal response to seasonal changes and practicing a bit of self-compassion can help manage this period; most of us will notice an improvement by Feb/Mar as daylight hours gradually increase.
But what else can we do to help us through this difficult time? We can turn to God for help through prayer and reading his word the Bible. Why not try looking up some of these verses to help you through.
Dealing with winter – try Genesis 8:22:
“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”
It gives us confidence that God is in control, that after Winter, Spring will follow, and then Summer, and so on.
Dealing with stress and anxiety – try 1 Peter 5:7:
“…casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
Isaiah 41:10:
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
These verses encourage us to give our worries to God in prayer and He will help us.
