Oh Lord, I praise you for blessing me with another day.
You woke me up today because you are not done with me yet.
And even though my situation overwhelms and saddens me at times,
I choose to be happy. I know that you have a plan for my life and
that today is the day you have made for me to rejoice in it.
Teach me how to develop real joy that comes from you and
that sustains any circumstance. Amen.
