Blooming With God’s Grace
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.—Matthew 6:28–29 (NIV)
“Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”—Isaiah 12:6 (NIV)
End your evenings with prayers of gratitude. Right before you go to bed, instead of rehashing the day or worrying about tomorrow, thank God for your blessings. List everything that makes you happy, from the comfort of your bed, to the loved ones that make your life special.
Loving Father, You are my joy! Thank You for the countless ways you bless me.
