Restore To Me Your Joy Lord

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit. Psalm 51:12

You might be reading this and feel you have just cause to sit around and mope and feel sorry for yourself all day but that is not God’s plan. Tragedy is part of life and pain is part of life. Yes bad things do happen sometimes to good people.  It is how you deal with it that matters. 

Maybe you are mad at God for the death of someone. Perhaps you can’t figure out why your prayers go unanswered. It could be you are just in a blah mood. The main culprit is to take captive your mind and don’t allow it to absorb wrong thinking.

Decide each day what you will allow into your mind. I suggest to leave the morning news shows off and spend time reading the Bible. Start with the Psalms or book of John. Get focused on things outside yourself. Try to find a way to bring joy to another in the midst of your gloominess. Get up, get out, and get going! 

PRAYER: Lord you are good all the time and all the time you are good. I pray for any I may know having trouble staying positive and finding joy. Help their hearts, souls, and spirits and set them free to dance for joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
