Everybody has bad days. Even pastors. I think it’s funny that some people think that when bad days come it’s because you’re not spiritual enough, or maybe not holy enough. Or maybe God just doesn’t like you. But it’s not true.

Everybody has bad days. Even people like Mother Teresa had bad days, days when she felt like she couldn’t get anything done and days when she felt like she was disconnected from God.

In some way (maybe it’s kind of sick way), it’s comforting to know that people in the Bible had bad days. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had bad days. Joseph and Moses had bad days. David and Nehemiah had bad days. You could go on and on. And Jesus had bad days.

I don’t really have any advice about bad days, and I certainly don’t want any cliche about bad days. But it’s good to know everybody has bad days and the bad days don’t last forever.
