REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS.

“Philippians 4:4 (NIV) * Today's circumstances may not be favorable for you.* The news forecast is also discouraging, and there is a widespread sense of unease around the globe.* It is terrifying to contemplate the future.* Everyone around you may hold differing viewpoints, most of which may sound threatening and hostile.* Indeed, the circumstances around us are not encouraging. * However, remember that God has predetermined your future, and His plans are filled with hope.* His thoughts and ways are higher than yours.* Do not rely on your own understanding.* Genuine faith is trusting God amid adverse circumstances.* When you have no control over the future, there is no sense in being fearful and depressed.* Worldly challenges and difficulties are unavoidable, and they are a part of life. * Don't look around in terror.* Instead, train yourself to always look to Jesus.* Learn to manage your negative emotions by seeking moments of happiness that will refresh and sustain you.* Jesus is the enduring source of happiness.* His joy will be your most significant source of strength.* Always maintain an intimate relationship with God.* His presence and words will bring you happiness.* Yes! Always rejoice in the Lord. Prayer: Lord Jesus, please help me to be constantly joyful. Amen”
