Day 5
“Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. ”
There’s no doubt that life has its ups and downs. For every touchdown in the fourth quarter, there’s a field goal attempt that gets blocked. For every couple who has a lasting relationship, there’s another couple who breaks up with heartache and tears. For every test you ace, there’s another that you nearly bomb. We all will experience good times and bad times. The only thing we can control is our response to our circumstances.
God calls us to respond to our circumstances with prayer, worship, and joy. So this week, whatever the occasion—good or bad—ask God for his help in responding well. When you go to him with all the things you’re dealing with, have confidence that he will help you and equip you.
