Gracious God, Even though I am walking through the valley, I praise you for all that you have given me. So often life presents me with such difficult circumstances and seasons, but I know that you are still good. You are continually pouring out goodness and joy even when it really doesn’t always feel like it. Help me lift my eyes above all that’s burying me down in darkness up to you, where there is always joy to be found. Lord, I know while we are on this earth, trials will continue to come, but help me keep my heart so strong and firm on the truth of where my ultimate joy here is found–in you. And where my ultimate hope and home is–in heaven. God, thank you for redeeming all things. Thank you for always being by my side. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
