LET’S FIND JOY

It has been a crazy crazy past few months. Life has been challenging and unforgiving. I feel like I should be talking about depression and the deep sadness I’ve felt recently, BUT God wants to talk about JOY!

It’s totally understandable to feel sadness. The sadness and depression you have been experiencing for almost year are totally valid. The causes for those feelings are real and you are seen in this time by a God who knows how you are feeling and is here to comfort you.

It’s also totally okay to lean into goodness and seek kindness and something full of light. Today is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Sometimes it’s okay to sit in your sadness but today let’s find something to rejoice about!

What in your life has been good to you?

Have you actively been seeking God? Try reading your bible or singing in worship to Him. You will feel better.

Who in your life can you pray for? Praying for others takes your mind off of yourself and allows you to focus on something.

Joy comes from the Lord, so let’s set our focus on Him today and see if our joy increases!
