Even on the sunniest of days, something can bring us down.
Something like a bad remark from a friend or family member, messing up paperwork that’s due, car problems, or even a financial setback.
It’s hard to be joyful, when it seems like everything is going against you.
We can turn any sorrow or struggle into joy.
David did this often and is a prime example of how it can be done.
David assured himself that he would find peace in the Lord. That his prayers would be answered.
He knew that the answer might not come right away but in due time God would answer him.
When we take our focus off all the things that are trying to take our joy and begin to focus on God, good things happen.
Meditate on God’s love for us, continue to talk to Him in prayer and know that He is your strength to make it through.
Prayer is the key.
A WORD OF PRAYER
God, we thank Christ for being our Mediator, for hearing our prayers, accepting them, and giving us the answer on how to handle things in our lives. For the grace You bestow on us. Grace that helps us remember there is a purpose for anything we go through. A purpose that brings us closer to You. Thank you Lord for the love and care You always show.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen
