Worry, fear, resentment, and regret are some of my
biggest joy-stealers. When I fret about the future, begrudge something in the
moment, or feel shame about the past, joy drains from my soul like a sieve.
Can you relate?
Thankfully, God is in the restoration business. Psalm 51
says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God... Restore to me the joy of your
salvation." Joy is restored to our souls when we daily invite God to
remake our hearts. Rather than catastrophizing about the future, beating yourself
up about the past, or resenting a present experience, make David's prayer your
own. If you missed yesterday's message, you can listen to it here.

Breathe In: JESUS
Breathe Out: YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION
Practice this with me all day long...from the time you wake up till you go to bed!
