Have you ever heard the saying, “Things will look better in the morning”?

Some days are just hard days. Whether we had a sleepless night or we are in a season of very little time or perhaps our hormones out of whack.
Hum, maybe, there are unresolved issues.

God is always teaching and growing us, and often the tests come during the “bad days”. The days we feel irritated and feel life is unfair; the days we are so tired our bones hurt!

This is the crucial time where our flesh wants to take over our spirit.
But God wants to turn it into something good!

         Matthew 1:20: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream.

God will give you direction and peace if you allow Him to enter into your thoughts. 
When we are weak and weary but choose to rest in God and trust Him with our whole life, The Holy Spirit does the work and God is made strong in us.

         What in your life is overtaking your joy and your thoughts?
This is a clue; that God is working something out, that does not line up with His Word?

God speaks to us in many ways: through His Word, a circumstance, wise counsel, dreams, visions… But often He speaks through a thought. We have the mind of Christ but have to renew it with His word and line our thoughts up with His and listen for His direction. The enemy delights in alienating us from our Father and often does it through our thoughts.

Rest and rejoice in Him, especially on the hard, trying days and it will be better tomorrow.

Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalms 30:15

Prayer:
Father, I cry out for your help and I praise your name.
I give you ­­­­­­­­____________________. Line my thoughts up with yours.
Teach me. Speak to me. Restore my “JOY”! Amen
