God Gives Good Things

Breathe Deep and Know: God is good. He is with you and surrounding you with His love.

If you’re feeling a lot of anxiety today, it may be difficult to really believe the words of today’s prayer. When your mind is filled with fear and your body is feeling the very real physical effects of anxiety, seeing past the things that are troubling you and focusing on the deeper reality of God’s love and tender mercy surrounding you can feel impossible.

Take a few minutes today to list some of the good things in your life. What are you grateful for? Start with naming just one thing. Then try two, and then three. Even small moments of gratitude have a powerful way of reconnecting us with the goodness of God that surrounds us.

The hard and scary things may still be there, but so is God. And His goodness pierces through even the darkest of darkness.

He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

Psalm 103:4-5
