Overcoming the Monday Blues

How to Overcome Blue Monday with the Word of God

Blue Monday is a term coined to describe the third Monday of January, which is said to be the most depressing time of the year. This phenomenon has been linked to a combination of factors such as post-holiday blues, cold weather, and financial pressure.

Luckily, there are ways to combat this feeling and help people find happiness. There is hope, and it comes from above. God's word can provide strength and comfort during difficult times. It helps us to stay positive and reminds us that no matter how bad things may seem, we are never alone. Through reading Scripture and praying, we can find peace in knowing that God has our best interests at heart.

In this therapy Thursday episode, we share a few simple steps. You can use God’s word to help you overcome Blue Monday and find happiness, hope, and peace. Want to know the three double R tools? Tune in!

Friends with Faith is all about progress not perfection. We are a circle of friends that desire to grow in our walk with Jesus. Here, we get together to think a little more about faith & love. Whether you’re a newcomer, or a lifelong Christian, you’ll hear thought provoking & stimulating conversation about all things faith: from growing your personal relationships, to your own spiritual growth and connection with God. We are walking out and working out our faith together in community. We share each others burdens, carrying them to the cross. We celebrate each other, building each other up for the good works God has prepared. If you struggle to be faithful in prayer and reading the Bible then we believe this is the podcast that will help you apply God's Word to everyday tasks and trials. We share what works for us and encourage you as we learn and grow together. We want to learn how to love God and others better. Welcome to our circle. Thanks for listening in!
