Shine His Light on Dark Thoughts
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.—Psalm 106:1 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said that when we give thanks, we not only recognize past blessings—we activate blessings to come. Reflect on the simple, beautiful things that Almighty God has given you. Open your eyes and see that God does wonderful things every day! Praise Him for the good in your life.
Dear Lord, thank You for the abundance of blessings you have given me.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.—Psalm 126:5 (NIV)
