Praise Me for everything in your life—the good, the bad, the pretty, the ugly, the joyous and the sad—and you will experience peace and contentment that will transcend the boundaries of earth and flesh. As you do this, you will experience My peace and contentment and I will give you the strength to carry on.
I want to give you My joy and My peace that passes all understanding – and I want to pour out these gifts to you in a never ending stream of My love. I know that you will pass through times of great testing and trial – but My stream of love never stops flowing. I can give you beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. (Isaiah 61:3) So when you are passing through times of testing, come to Me and let Me fill you with My Spirit and I will give you the strength to persevere.
