Happy Birthday, Apostle Willie Medlock; we love you
Turn on some Christian music and tapes of Bible Reading
Turn off the television! Don’t pollute your mind further with junk from unsanctified minds and talents; instead, renew your mind by washing the water of the Word! Sometimes television causes more significant depression and loneliness, even though those watching it believe it will relieve their depression and loneliness.

Dealt with Unjustly at the Time of Leaving
Don’t return evil for evil. When persecuted, don’t seek to retaliate. Instead, pray for those who mistreat you, and trust God for your vindication. “It is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you is the Bible’s assurance of God’s care for you. It’s also the reason we leave judgment and vengeance to Him. God will take care of those who trouble you.

Humble yourself
God will humble us if we ask for the blessing but are unwilling to humble ourselves. This is what He did with the children of Israel.
Looking at the great men and women of faith, it is evident that there came a time of great humbling in each of their lives. Either from a struggle without or from loss within. But out of that humbling process came the seeking after God, bringing them into new and more incredible places of ministry and influence.

You are not Alone
Don’t stop communicating, either with people or with God. Don’t cut yourself off by isolating yourself. Loneliness and isolation will only pervert you’re thinking. Keep your balance by continuing to interact normally while undergoing a crisis.
Many people find that when they talk to the Lord in the midst of a crisis, they are so tense, they find it difficult to hear from Him. Others have simply never learned to hear from God at all, and stress only makes it worse. If you need to talk, go to your pastor or a godly counselor who is trustworthy and full of the truth of God’s Word. If you don’t screen those you speak with, and you tell them everything that’s in your heart, your “comforters,” like those of Job, may seem sympathetic, but often their advice will be based on their own personal perspective or prejudice, not God’s truth.

Give God the Negatives
Faith is believing something you cannot see will happen. Fear is believing something you cannot see will happen. Confidence attracts the positive. Fear attracts the negative.
Give God the negatives. Don’t dwell on them. Take care of them privately. When you want to complain about someone, injustice, or trauma that apparently was caused by a person, take that up with the Lord out in the desert or on a mountaintop. Don’t take your murmurings to another person or live with them inside you. Confess sins, your own and those that others have committed against you, and ask to be cleansed from them. Admit what your conscience convicts you about; don’t cover it up.

Knowledge Brings Responsibility
Your children also don’t need to know the anxiety, the tension, the anger. Don’t communicate to your children the poverty attitude or your brokenness. While for you it is a passing crisis, it can become a lifetime habit for them to overcome. Your children do not need to be responsible for the knowledge of what you are going through.

Share the LOVE, Not YOUR Miss
Outside of such confidential meetings, keep your conversation positive. No one needs to know the negatives of your situation. Though you may be going through emotional turmoil or suffering mental anguish, no one else needs to know the details. We deceive ourselves, and the enemy of our souls takes advantage when we think that we must share everything with everyone. That’s just not true.
