Listen

The person whose help is the God of Jacob— the person whose hope rests on the Lord their God— is truly happy!

Psalm 146:5

Think

We all struggle sometimes with school, family life, friendships, our health, and more! This struggle is all part of being human. We all feel it at times even though we know that God is there for us. Oftentimes it is difficult to “let go, and let God.”

We can be more successful and truly find God’s peace if we center each day on the hope of the Lord and the blessings the Lord provides in our lives: our health, the love of our family and friends, our home, our gifts, a simple hike, or a favorite sporting event. It is difficult not to feel the joy when we focus on our blessings. Take some time today to do that.

The Lord has blessed us, so let’s rejoice and be happy.

Pray

Go

Go into this day and, with the Lord’s help, choose joy.
