And with school schedules, work demands, and full calendars, anxiety about the next season quickly creeps in. But God gently reminds us: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24 In today’s prayer, we’re invited to release regret over yesterday, surrender worry about tomorrow, and rejoice in the beauty of this very moment. Inspired by Hebrews 12:2 and Psalm 118, this devotion helps re-center your soul in God’s joy, even when life feels ordinary or overwhelming. 📖 Your joy isn’t found in a perfect schedule or finished bucket list—it’s rooted in the presence of the One who walks with you.
