Psalm 118:24

“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

It is easy for us to get caught up in the doings of the world and it can be the last thing we want to do is rejoice. But as Christians we must remember that Christ has already won the ultimate battle and we need to focus on God, the Holy Spirit and Christ. If we lose sight of God, we lose our sight as to what God has for us. Be honest with God, tell Him how you are feeling. Just as the prophets did, we must also follow their lead in telling God just how we are feeling. With His help we can rejoice and be glad that we are here at such a time as this. What do you need to tell God?

Dear God, thank you that you accept me right where I am, and appreciate it when I  come to you with my problems and doubts. Help me to be open and honest with you. Give me your courage to live my life with rejoicing even when it looks like there is nothing to rejoice about. Help me to help others in this as well. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
