Sometimes its hard to find joy when things are not going right (well what I think is right.). When your stressed about money and then your car breaks down. But the cool thing is that the Bible tells us the Joy of the Lord is my strength and that is something I can depend upon. God thank you for your peace that surpasses all understanding, God I thank you for the plans that you have for my life, God I thank you that you help me and will never leave me, God i thank you that the same power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead lives in me. God I  thank you that no plan that the enemy had against me will work. God I thank you that you love me so much!
 
 
 
These are the things that I have to hold as truth when the messy stuff happens.
