Read Psalms 118: 1-2, 19-29

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever.
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Have you ever had a day that nothing has gone right? Your mood is as low as it can be, your situation is out of hand and your sorrow or guilt is overwhelming. The last thing you want to do is rejoice.

We can maybe relate to the writer of the psalms who often felt this way. But no matter how low the Psalmist felt, they were always honest with God. When they talked to God their prayers ended in praise. When you are down and out and don’t and don’t feel like rejoicing, go to God in prayer and tell Him how you truly feel. You will find that God will give you a reason to rejoice.

Always remember you are not alone.

You always have someone you can turn to.

God has given you this day to live and to serve him-Be Glad.

Let us pray

Dear God,
Help us all remember you are always there for us, you will never forsake us. When we are at the end of our rope, we can always let you know how we really feel, although you already know. Give us a reason to rejoice each day as we continue to serve you.
Amen
