For the despondent, every day brings trouble;
for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
—Proverbs 15:15 (NLT)
Good and Generous God,
Help me fill my heart with good thoughts of the continual feast of blessings that You have prepared for me to enjoy—so that I can maintain a happy-hearted attitude, no matter what comes my way.
I know that if I allow
myself to get discouraged—by never missing an opportunity to dwell on every bad thing that happens—my attitude
will become poisoned and my days will be filled with trouble.
I know that if I allow
myself to become encouraged—by never missing an opportunity to dwell on every good thing with which You have so
abundantly blessed me—my attitude will be nourished and my days will be filled
with happiness.
May
I always choose wisely, those things that I allow myself to meditate upon—that
I might fully experience the abundant life that You have me invited me to live
out each and every day.
Help me fill my heart with good thoughts of the continual feast of blessings that You have prepared for me to enjoy—so that I can maintain a happy-hearted attitude, no matter what comes my way.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
