When We Can't Rejoice in the Day

"This is the day which the LORD has made;

         Let us rejoice and be glad in it." 

Psalm 118:14 

The Lord has made this day. It is a gift to us from Him. If you are struggling with a life issue, today may not seem like a gift from the Lord, and it may be difficult for you to rejoice and be glad in it. If so, tell the Lord how you feel. Even though He already knows, He wants to hear it from you. There are many ways to rejoice and be glad in the day the Lord has made. One of the best ways is to express your disappointment to Him honestly. If you do, you may find that the Lord will take what began as a prayer of complaint and turn it into a prayer of rejoicing and gladness.
