Handling Today’s Challenges

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Today will come with its challenges. That is simply part of life. Some days have more challenges than others but each day we find opportunities to grow forward in our faith or to shrink back in frustration.

When you stop to Intentionally put into your heart and mind just who your great God is – and all the resources He offers you, you will feel a shift happen in your soul.

Choosing this focus will cause your heart to rejoice and will lead you to pray in greater faith and trust that He is able to do immeasurably more than you could ask or imagine.

This focus will cause thanksgiving in your heart. Thankfulness changes the way we see and the way we walk.

Father God, Today I want to go step by step through my day with my heart rejoicing because You are in my life. I want to pray with complete trust that You will guide me. I want to walk with gratitude and thanksgiving. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and enable me to grow through my challenges today. Thank you for Your constant love and presence in my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
