Sometimes life takes turns we didn’t expect—painful ones. People betray us. Plans fall apart. The path gets dark and confusing. In those moments, it’s tempting to wonder, Where is God in all of this?

DON'T WASTE YOUR WAIT!
Like Joseph, we often don’t know what God is doing in our waiting seasons. But we do know this: focusing on people rather than problems keeps our hearts soft and our faith strong. Instead of getting stuck in frustration, look for ways to encourage someone, pray for a friend, or serve where you are. You may not see the full picture yet, but God is working. Don’t waste your wait—use it to bless others.

Gratitude Is The Path to Happiness
Are you unhappy? How much time do you spend thinking about how unhappy you are? The more you focus on your discontent, the more it will grow. If you want to change your unhappiness, you need to change your focus.
Make Better Decisions By Learning From Ant Man
I try to read a chapter from Proverbs every day. Today is March 6, so I was in Proverbs 6 this morning. I came across a verse I’ve read many times before, but today noticed a powerful decision-making process that can be helpful in any situation.
Proverbs 6:6 says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.” That tiny creature has a lot to teach us about decision-making.

Ask These FIVE QUESTIONS At The End Of Every Day
What do you do right before you fall asleep? Are you watching the news and complaining about how bad the world has become? Are you scrolling social media, concerned about what you might have missed or coveting what you might not have?
Why not use those final minutes of your day to focus your mind on a beneficial, uplifting, and spiritually healthy trajectory. As you close out your day, ask yourself these five questions to ensure that you finish well:
Have I read and contemplated God's Word?
the Bible is our primary source of guidance and direction in life. Psalm 119:105, says, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Through reading and chewing on God's Words, we can gain wisdom and understanding of God's will for us.
Have I confessed my shortcomings and mistakes?
Confession is an important part of the Christian life, as it allows us to repent and turn away from our sinful ways. In 1 John 1:9, it says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." God has already forgiven our sins in Christ, but through confession, we are able to receive that forgiveness and in turn forgive ourselves.
Have I thanked God for His blessings?
Thanking God for His blessings is an acknowledgement that every good gift is from above. Colossians 3:17, says, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." By giving thanks to God, we will grow our gratitude habit, we will remind ourselves of how many blessings we truly have received, and we will feed our mind spiritually health food.
Have I encouraged and provided assistance to others?
As Christians, we are called to love and serve others, and one way to do this is by encouraging and providing assistance to those in need. Galatians 6:2 reminds us to, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." When we use our gifts and resources for the good of others, we are fulfilling Christ's command to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Have I prayed for those whom I love?
There are few better ways to close out a day than to pray for others. Praying for those we love is an important way to show our love and concern for them. In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, it says, "Pray continually." Praying for those closest to us is important because prayer is effective. And, it is also good and beneficial to pray for those not close to us, even our enemies sometimes. Prayer is the portal through which we draw near to the heart of God.
Meditate on these questions as you lie in bed. There is no better way to finish your day.
