This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
When I woke up this morning, I didn’t feel well. I was tired and would have loved to crawl back in bed and stay there a long time, but I couldn’t because I had a full day ahead of me. When we don’t feel well, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and start thinking negatively. But we don’t have to!
Because I understand the power of our thoughts, while I was washing my face, brushing my teeth, and making my coffee, I thought and said, “Today is going to be a great day. I am energetic and joyful. I am blessed, and I am a blessing to others.”
There was a time when I often had to take my elderly mother to the eye doctor. In the past, those visits were very challenging. She was losing her eyesight yet insisted the doctors didn’t know what they were doing, and trying to convince her otherwise frequently ended in an embarrassing scene. But on one particular trip, instead of dreading it as I usually did, I made up my mind to expect a peaceful and pleasant experience. And you know what? That simple shift made all the difference.
Whatever you might be facing today, you can still get a head start on things going well by partnering with God and believing that He is on your side and that something good is waiting to happen to you.
Prayer of the Day: Father, You are good and I am expecting You to show up in my life today and manifest Your goodness. Thank You!
