Have you ever started the day with an awful feeling...

PuppyLoverBob666 — Sat, 11 Jun 2022 18:21:53 GMT

...that's it's going to be a bad day? I woke up this morning with a general feeling of dread and so far nothing has happened to change my mind. I hope it goes away but I'm feeling...the way you feel when you know it's going to be a bad day.

If you're a prayerful person, call on heaven to send it away.

I have had the same dread today and I am disappointed that it ruins things for me. Leaning on my prayers.

Yes and it's impossible to shake that feeling. I go through the day wxpecting "the call" telling me that something has happened to someone I love. It happens a couple of times a year, I wake up with dread and it's with me all day but nothing bad happens.

@PuppyLoverBob666 Instincts are powerful forces. I hope you have a better day than you expect. Perhaps this evening you will post, "Relax, false alarm."

The state of the world is enough to cause all sorts of dread. Putin, Ukraine, COVID, mass tragedies, etc., are enough to cause anxiety in those who typically would never experience it.

I wake up every day thinking, this is a day the Lord has made and thank him for the privilege of living it as unto him, regardless of what the day has in store for me. Then I don't have to worry about what is going to happen.

Yup, and I don't like that feeling.

Maybe you're keyed up because of the Covid situation. Give them a call. Can't hurt, Might help.

Listen to your feelings/instincts . Shows on TV that interview people who have survived real life horrible situations , many state they had a " funny feeling or an instinct that something was dreadfully wrong".

However , agree with others , that there are days I pray for protection for my family, friends and myself .

Yep, felt that way going to work in NYC on 9/11. I remember looking up and commenting how beautiful the sky was that day but still felt uneasy.

This -- best answer. Give it to him.

Yes....I have had days like that and I do believe in the power of prayer. As another post mentioned....the world is in turmoil and it has an affect on all of us one way or another.
Years ago I was going thru multiple challenges and it started to get the best of me, I happened to read an article about "signs" that come and go in our lives and how we choose to interpret them. Long story short...my dad always collected dimes. Shortly after he passed away, I started finding dimes in unusual places....on the kitchen counter...on the seat in my car...in the middle of the floor...on a table at a restaurant...in pockets. The article I read explained that finding multiple coins was often times an indication that "change was coming".
Soon after finding at least 10 dimes....things started changing for the better. For me it has always been a positive sign and it lifts my spirits. Just this week, I started finding multiple dimes again....and it has been years since the last time it happened. I know it is probably a silly thought for most people, but it is just something I chose to acknowledge to keep my thoughts positive.

@PuppyLoverBob666 Thanks for this topic, & yr sharing!!

*HECK YEAH!*.. I've had those days...and I've had to promise myself...
. . . . I'D STAY OUT OF MY OWN WAY!
. . . . . . . . "LOW PROFILE," as they say
. . . . . . . . . . "ONE DAY AT A TIME"

I also indulge myself, and do as @ThinkingOutLoud lovingly suggested:

I need all the help I can get, in those days, (& many other days)... including calling on the celestial, & Almightly!

"Help me remember today,

that nothing can happen to me,

that You & I cant handle!"

Pls consider, letting us know how it goes/went .. ,@PuppyLoverBob666

"spirits" are of "Light, not dark."

Take good care... @Mombo1

I feel that after the past 3 years, many of us are experiencing an anxiety / watchfulness overload.

@hckynutjohn Me too! I always look forward to a new day! I am always waiting for publishers Clearing House to pull in my driveway.😄

If I started the day with an awful feeling of dread, I would go back to bed and reset the alarm clock for a little later.

I have an old clock radio, so I always wake up to music, much of it very happy and energetic. It is a nice way to start the day.

My cats also jump all over me and lick my face and fingers when the music starts.

I try to be positive about what I can control, especially including feelings. Fear of the unknown is just too vague to really let it dominate my thoughts.

Sometimes He refuses to take it and wants me to be a grown-up and figure things out for myself. So...that's what I usually do--gudgingly. Or I stick my head in the sand and try to avoid everyone and everything.

Drythe, I think you hit the nail on the head. I often feel overwhelmed and overloaded. If it weren't for family, friends, and streaming services, I don't thing I could cope.

Plus, I live near Seattle and it has rained interminably this spring--we're having the coolest, rainiest spring on record, so the rain and the gray clouds overhead don't help either. Oh well, I'll get over it--I always do.

I woke up with a dreaded feeling the day Mom died 4.5 years ago. Dad is now 90 and I sometimes think about losing him and get that dreadful feeling.
