Two Minutes a Day: “On Sad Days” FAMILY CHRISTIAN PRESS


"Some days are light and happy, and some days are not.  When we face the inevitable dark days of life, we must choose how we will respond.  We will allow ourselves to sink even more deeply into our own sadness, or will we do the difficult work of pulling ourselves out?  We bring light to the dark days of life by turning first to God, and then to trusted family members and friends.  Then, we must go to work solving the problems that confront us.  When we do, the clouds will eventually part, and the sun will shine once more upon our souls.

        

“God is good, and heaven is forever.  These two facts should brighten up even the darkest day.”

 (Marie T. Freeman)

"When life is difficult, God wants us to have a faith that trusts and waits."

(Kay Arthur)

“Dear Heavenly Father,

On those days when I am troubled, you comfort me, You comfort me if I turn my thoughts and prayers to You.  When I am afraid You protect me.  When I am discouraged, you lift me up.  You are my unending source of strength, Lord.  In every circumstance, let me trust Your plan, and Your will for my life. Amen.”
