“Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; 
my body also will rest secure.” Psalm 16:9

Today, Lord, I was tempted to let my mood become gloomy. That can happen when I am alone and I allow my thoughts to focus on times and people I miss. But, I have so much to be thankful for! You have blessed me with so much and I am so grateful! Thank you for giving me the strength to turn away from my melancholy thoughts and remember the incredible blessings you have given me – the love, the joys, the peace! You are my fortress and in you I am safe. I am rejoicing as I stand strong within your loving embrace! Thank you for the life you have given me and the incredible blessing of knowing you!

In Jesus’ name, amen.
