Rejoicing Always is HARD

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV

Sometimes it is hard to rejoice.  I have been able to pray continually  Clinging to God seems like the only thing I can do right now.  I can find things to thank God for because I can thank him for my loving husband and family and for the time I had with my baby, but I find it hard to rejoice.  Lord, you told me to do this.  Please help me and show me how.  I need you.

Until next time....

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. "

Lord,

As the Psalmist in this chapter, I am broken. I miss the little baby that you gave me. I ache to hold him and rock him and kiss his forehead again. I loved him so much. I don't want to go on to life as it was before. I pray that you please help me follow you, and please restore to me your joy.

Josh said tonight that he thinks Nehemiah lived as long as he did as a gift from you to comfort us. I thank you for that gift, and ask you now to comfort us and restore joy to us.

In Jesus name I pray...
