As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him.
Nehemiah 8:10 (AMPC) says, Be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold. Being happy and joyful makes you strong, and being mad or sad makes you weak. But the Lord is a Shield, and the Lifter of your head (Psalm 3:3).
Satan isn’t after your joy; he is after your strength. The devil wants you too weak to pray. He wants you worn out and burned out. But the Lord will lift your head and shield you from the devil’s plot against you, if you put your trust in Him.
Prayer of the Day: God, fill my heart with Your joy and peace. Help me trust You in every situation and strengthen me when I feel weak or discouraged.
