“You will grieve, but your grief will
suddenly turn to wonderful joy!”
-John 20: 16b NLT

A Time to Think… “Faith in God is the key to having the willpower to fight for joy even when we feel as if we have no fight left in us…But holy joy gives us courage to smile when our hearts are broken, strengthens us to persevere when we feel like giving up, fuels us to stand strong in faith when hope wavers, and equips us to trust that Jesus can always bring beauty out of brokenness. Joy from Christ is life-giving. ” ―Tracie Miles, Author, Writer for Proverbs 31 Women’s’ Ministries

A Time to Act… When you awaken today it is a new day—you have never lived this day yet. God invites you to embrace the day no matter what comes at you because God has your back. God’s strength will fuel you and the joy of Christ will fill you with peace and encouragement.

A Time to Pray… O Trinity of love, I thank you, Father, Son and Spirit, for working in my life everyday. It is so easy for me to cry out but never follow through, yet you are there for me in every situation. I sing my praises and thanksgiving for your provision, protection, and unending mercy and grace. Thank you, thank you, and thank you, AMEN!!
