Rejoicing in the Midst of Struggles

“Blessed is the person . . . who delights in God’s promises.”  (Psalm 1: 1-2)

God’s promises delight because they show us what can be rather than only what is.

Lord,

   When I’m feeling overwhelmed with challenges,

     your promises fill me with joy,

     they show me life as you promise rather than as it is.

   Help me to focus on you and your promises,

      seeing clearly through eyes of faith,

      the blessings you offer and are filling my life.

Amen
