Although circumstances happen in everyones life where there will be periods of feeling low or mourning we must eventually push on so that those low periods dont become a snare and trap that create stagnation in our lives.
3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Isaiah 61:3 KJV
Fight against temptations
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
Matthew 26:41 KJV
Low moods can become a familiar emotion to adopt easily as sometimes it is easier to accept the low mood than to work on getting out of it or resisting it, but we must push forward and begin to fight against these temptations.
Familiarity keeps us where we are, that is being comfortable but it is a good thing if feeling the low moods would eventually start to cause discomfort in our lives as that would help us to shake off the spirit of heaviness and not want to stay in that discomfort any longer.
the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41 KJV continued.
Seeking God is the best way we can shake of the spirit of heaviness, prayer and fasting will build up self control so when confronted by our flesh to be in a prolonged period of low mood it will not be as comfortable as it once were because God has heard your cry for help and is helping you and we’ve also in turn become spiritually and mentally stronger through Gods guidance, now the tempting situations don’t seem as hard to deal with as the prayer and fasting has calmed down the flesh but strengthened the spirit.
