Scripture
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
— 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Reflection
Joy is a choice to focus on God’s eternal goodness rather than temporary troubles. It is a deep-seated gladness that remains even when happiness is hard to find.
Prayer
God, help me to keep my eyes on You so that my joy isn't dependent on my circumstances.
A moment to reflect
How can you 'rejoice always' even when things aren't going according to your plan?
