Having a bad day? This morning you woke up tired and grumpy, and things haven’t gone right from that moment. You took the dog out and he wouldn’t come back in, so you spent a lot of time coaxing him into the house. Either you didn’t have time for breakfast, or it burned. Traffic on the way to work was horrific. Now you’ve opened up your computer, and it’s giving you one of those messages that you can’t interpret but you know means you can’t do your work until you find out what’s wrong!
We all have days that go awry, ones where we’d like to be able to go back to bed, pull the covers over our heads, and sleep away twenty-four hours! If only we didn’t have to work on them.
It’s hard to recognize on tough days that this, too, is a day God made and one He made, least in part, to benefit us. But unless the day is already gone, it’s not beyond repair. Turn around your less-than-impressive days by giving them back to God. He knows what you’re going through and wants to help, but He won’t barge in. Ask Him to take over those awful twenty-four hours, and you will be able to rejoice in them.
PRAYER
Lord, take this day and make of it what You will. Amen.
