The Joy of Living
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.—Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.—James 1:22 (NIV)
Sometimes we must surrender to become strong. When we recognize our weakness and turn to God for His strength, we discover the power of prayer. Because of God, there is nothing we can’t face. The secret is surrender.
Dear Lord, I know I can’t face this alone. Fill me with your strength. Your will be done.

God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.—Matthew 5:4–5 (NLT)
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”—Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT)
