Read Philippians 1–4.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:4–6
Dear God,
Thank you for your gifts, promises, and love. Quiet my heart and allow me to hear you. Fill me up as I empty myself of all my fears, doubts, anxiety, mistakes, and struggles. Fill me up as I present all the people on my heart today. How can I help them? What do you want me to do? Help me to feel your gentle nudges throughout this day and to act upon them. Help me to feel joy despite so much sorrow and despair. Help me to rejoice in all of it, knowing that you are waiting for me in every tomorrow, already knowing what will happen. What a gift. Thank you, Papa. I can always rest and trust in you.
I love you, Papa.
