Day 10: Joyful Always

Dear GOD,

We need to have a conversation.

I have been praying for ____________.

And it feels as if ____________ has gotten worse.

Do I keep praying for ____________, even though it appears to be getting worse,

or do I keep praying for ____________,

because it isn't about ____________

as it is about my talking to YOU.

What if I didn't have ____________,

would I be talking to YOU?

So maybe just maybe,

I should be thanking YOU that I get to talk to you about ____________

because ____________ has brought me closer to YOU.

So maybe just maybe

it is ALL about my relationship with YOU,

because what if I couldn't talk to YOU?

I couldn't even imagine it,

because I don't know who I would be

without YOU.

Therefore

I WILL

"Rejoice always

and delight in my faith...".

I WILL

"be unceasing and persistent in prayer;

in every situation [no matter what the circumstances]... ".

I WILL

"be thankful and continually give thanks to GOD:

for this is the will of GOD for you in CHRIST JESUS"

(I Thessalonians 5:16-18).

AMEN!

What is your ____________?

Look at your ____________

as an

OPEN DOOR

for GOD

to do what HE does best,

which is to

draw you closer into

a RELATIONSHIP

with HIM,

as

HIS SON

enters deeper into your heart,

overfilling you

with

MORE than you could ever imagine,

that you even forget what your ___________ is,

because

"WHEN I'M WITH YOU, I feel the real me finally breaking through. It's all because of YOU, JESUS. Anytime, anywhere, any heartache. I'm never too much for YOU to take. There's only love. There's only grace. WHEN I'M WITH YOU"
