Have you ever had a really bad day? I know everybody’s answer to that question is yes. We all have bad days from time to time! Maybe you failed a test or said something you later regretted. I recently had a bad day. I could NOT figure out the answer to a question on a math test. I almost cried in class! Not only that, but after the test, I went for a run and felt horrible while I ran. It was just a really bad day! It can be easy to think we are in this by ourselves. Sometimes we may even think the world is out to get us, but the amazing thing is, none of it is true. God watches out for us and listens to us. We might think, “How do we even reach God? God is the Creator of the universe. How could we possibly talk to God?” The answer is prayer. We can talk to God at any time, anywhere, about anything. Here, God even tells us never to stop praying. God is so good and amazing and always has time for us. God may not answer our prayers in the way we want, but He does answer our prayers. God wants us to find joy in our lives, even when we go through difficult things. 

Take one minute to think about one way God has answered a prayer for you or one way He has shown up in your life. Spend time thanking Him for answering your prayer or showing up in a way that was better than you could have thought!
