What happens when Christians are not positive and joyful.....

Today I read an article from TGIF(Today God is First) that says God's people should be the most positive, joyful people on earth. This joy should be a by-product of a healthy, intimate relationship with Jesus.

What happens when you are not positive? Does it mean you don't have a healthy and intimate relationship with God? I struggled with this bit because the truth is that I have been stuck in a rather down rut lately which I find it very hard to get out of the depressed mode...

But I don't think I have an unhealthy relationship with GOd but rather it is a spiritual attack by the devil...It is at times such as these that I turn to the Bible most to try and find an answer or a soothing word hoping that some verse will just leap out at you and tell you this is the answer you have been looking for. Psalms are my favorite as it contains some of the most inpiring wise quotes and observations by the writers.

I think the worst scenario is that no matter what you do be it scriptures reading, praying, you still can't seem to be lifted out of the dark cloud that have overcasted you..and refuse to go away.

That's the situation I am in now...i feel bad just by feeling bad and negative...nothing seems rite..everything seems bleak...and this is coming from a Christian who is trying her best to live by God's rules seems just so cruel and unimaginable...
