My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth
shall praise You with joyful lips. Psalm 63:5
When your alarm clock goes off in the morning, do you wish you could
just stay in bed? Do your struggles and responsibilities weigh you down with
frustration, boredom or hopelessness?
If these sentiments describe the way you feel about life, then you are
not enjoying the fullness of life that Christ offers.
He is not only our Saviour but also our burden-bearer. God wants you to
have a much better life - one that you enjoy!
Here's how you can put some joy into your life: Notice God's gifts, and
thank Him for them. Make it a daily practice to thank God for each new day when
you wake up from bed.
Throughout the day, keep your mind on the good things in your life for
which you're grateful.
Don't forget to acknowledge basic blessings, such as your ability to
breathe, eat or smile. Turn your worries into prayers.
Whenever a worry enters your mind, find a promise of God that responds
to it and turn it into a pray point.
Know that worry can't accomplish anything good, but faith in the Lord
has great power, since nothing is impossible with God.
Be specific as you share your concerns with God, and trust Him to answer
your prayers in the right way at the right time.
Look for fulfilment in the right place. Stop looking for true and
lasting satisfaction in the wrong places, such as through your work, personal
pleasure, or accumulation of knowledge or material possessions.
Realize that only God can provide the fulfilment you seek. Make a strong
relationship with Him your top priority. Look forward with great anticipation
toward the coming of the Lord.
The greatest source of joy for the believer is the hope of the glory of
God.
Prayer: Lord, I celebrate Your goodness in my life and thank You for
Your mercies.
Scriptural Reading: Psalm 63:1-11
