Intermission: The Joy of the Lord

Just a quick intermission to say Nehemiah says "the joy of the Lord is your strength."

Lately I am feeling extremely exhausted. Beyond physical, this is a spiritual, emotional, mental exhaustion.

I am depressed as well. Worn out, tired, sad, just want to curl up in bed and cry for days.

How closely entwined are joy and strength?

And how do we GET the joy of the Lord?

I find myself praising Him even though I am soooo tired. And I feel some strength. We shall see.
