Rejoice evermore. — 1 Thessalonians 5:16

Where do you keep your heart? These verses are all about that. It’s about where our hearts spend the most time. Are you always aware of God’s presence in your life? Is he the invisible friend who is always with you through all your ups and downs? Or does God only show up when it’s convenient and disappear when things are busy or we think everything is fine? We can be happy when we know we are never alone. Prayer is the ongoing talk we have from Spirit to Spirit, from child to Abba to God. Thanksgiving and happiness are great ways to remind us that we are blessed, no matter what it looks like on the outside.

Prayer

Dear Holy and Righteous Father, I appreciate your constant presence. Give me a more profound understanding of and appreciation for your presence today. May the joy you have given me by saving me by grace be reflected in my life. And may my love always find a place to call you home. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
