My trust is strengthened by my joyful heart.
Martin
Luther once compared the exercising of faith to placing a joyful wager
on God’s unexpressed goodness. Every time I center myself in a positive
spirit, I am truly praying. When I lift up my heart in joy, I move in
the direction of better outcomes in my life. Trust and joy are linked
within me, resulting in answered prayer. What can I do right now,
in the midst of whatever is facing me, to raise my spirits? I engage my
cheerful nature with a sense of optimism about a positive result. I
begin by trusting that all things are working together for my good—in my
life and in the lives of all those I care about. My joyful heart is giving me the energy that empowers this answered prayer.
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid.—Psalm 56:4
