Choose Joy!

How do we live with worry, stress and fear? How do we withstand these joy stealers?...

Let me downright practical and tell you what I do. First I remind myself early in the morning and several occassion during the day "God, You are at work and You are in control, And Lord God, You know this is happening. You were there at the beginning, and You will bring everything that occurs into conclusion that results in you greater glory in the end" and then? Then and ( and only then!). I relax from that point on, it really doesn't matter all that much what happens. it is in God's hand.

the pressure on you may be intense. A half-dozen joy stealers may be waiting outside your door, ready to punce at first opportunity. However nothing can rob you at your hold on grace, your claim to peace or your confidence in God without permission. Choose joy. Never release your grip!
