Perspective on hard days

Well, God is always listening as you know. I got my reminder today. As EVERYONE knows (and believe me I’m sure you’re just as tired as I am about it) I’m STILL sick. I said out loud as I got ready today “God! Please! I need to feel better, please make this virus go away for good! How long can this last?”

Well right after I said this out loud to God, I walked over to change my prayer card to the next one in line (I have prayer cards on my vanity where I get ready and I daily change it to the next card in line as inspiration for the day) and do you know what today’s said?

A verse we are all familiar with but one God knew I needed to be reminded of:

This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it"

Psalm 118:24

Well…instantly I said, God you are so right. Even my days of being sick, or tired, or being sick and tired of being sick! I have been blessed to be here on this Earth with my babies, and my husband, family and friends. I have so much to be thankful for, and you have blessed me in soooo many ways, including the blessing of this day, sick or not. The Lord made this day, and I will find joy in his creation of another day.

Often times when we are going through something, it’s easy to complain, or feel bad for ourselves, but God says “look at this day I’ve made for you”.

It’s humbling to also keep in mind that there will ALWAYS be be someone who would take my worst day in a heart beat compared to what they are going through. My worst days are someone else’s idea of a great day. Yes I’m sick, but sooo many others in this world have much bigger problems, and so rather than praying for this viral infection to move along faster, I offer today’s prayers to those who are less fortunate than me and ask God to bless them.

This is the day HE has made, and I will rejoice, even if I’m STILL sick.

Have a blessed day
