PSALM 51:12 (CEV)
Make me as happy as you did
when you saved me;
make me want to obey!
JAMES 5:13 (MSG)
If you're going through a rough patch -- pray! If things are going great -- praise God in some way!
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Whatever is happening turn to God and use the situation as an opportunity to interact with him.
DAILY FODDER
When do you most interact with God -- during difficult times or good times? Why do you think that is?
PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for both the high points and the low points in my life. Keep me engaged in meaningful conversation with you during both. I tend to get caught up in the moment and myself when things happen. But I want to reprogram my responses so that I naturally slide into praise and prayer. You are here for me. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
