Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.” -1 Thessalonians 5:18 MSG 

A Time to Think…
“Thank you” is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. ‘Thank you’ expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” 
-Alice Walker-American novelist, short story writer, poet, and social activist. 

A Time to Act…
Today you may face a situation that seems confusing or upsetting. Instead of getting all riled up, be cheerful and because God will step in and help you face that situation. And remember to thank God not only for the help you received today, but for the many times he has done this throughout your life! 

A Time to Pray…
I praise you O God, for how you rescued me in the middle of tough situations. You give me the strategy and the strength to come through when I cannot do that on I my own. Help me to turn to pray to you first in those situations instead of trying to solve things by myself. Thank you for always being there for me, AMEN.
