No matter what your circumstances may be, you can find joy in God’s presence. Begin by remembering that He created this day, it is not a chance occurrence. Recall that He is with you whether you sense Him or not. Then start talking with Him about whatever is on your mind. Rejoice in the fact that our God understands you perfectly and He knows exactly what you are experiencing. As you continue to communicate with Him your mood will gradually lighten. Awareness of His peaceful presence can infuse joy into the grayest of days.
The king shall have joy in Your strength, O Lord; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! You have given him his heart’s desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head. He asked life from You, and You gave it to him— Length of days forever and ever. His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him. For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. For the king trusts in the Lord, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Psalm 21:1-7
