DAY 41: SATURDAY BONUS

Enjoy the Good Without Waiting for Something Bad

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,”
James 1:17 (KJV)

DEVOTIONAL

Sometimes people become so used to problems that good moments make them nervous.

But joy is not foolish. Gratitude is not denial.

You can enjoy a good meal, a peaceful afternoon, a funny sibling, a game, sunshine, music, or time with your family without worrying that happiness will make something bad happen.

A safe home has room for joy.

Your family is not only growing through serious conversations.

You are also growing when you learn to receive God's good gifts together.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,

thank You for teaching me how to build my life on Jesus.

Help me grow in joy.

Show me what belongs to me, help me tell the truth, and teach me to respond with wisdom instead of reacting from fear or anger.

Help me notice the growth happening in my family without trying to control it.

Make me someone who brings truth, courage, responsibility, kindness, and peace into the places You have put me.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
