How To Have A Good Day

People don't realize that we have the power to make our day as good as we would like it to be.

The secret in doing this is the way we start our day.

The first thing you want to do before you do anything else is spend time with God. Go somewhere where it's just you and God, turn on some worship music, and begin to praise and thank God for all He is to you and has done in your life.

Say aloud, "This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it"(Psalm 118:24). The Bible says that "life and death are in the power of the tongue" (Proverbs 18:21). So let's bring about life today!

Speak the truth about who you are today. Speak it out loud, "Blessed shall I be in the city, and blessed shall I be in the field, blessed shall I be when I come in, and blessed shall I be when I go out, and the Lord will make me the head and not the tail; I shall be above only and not beneath" (Deuteronomy 28:3,6,13). The Bible also says, "God's word shall not return to Him void, But it shall accomplish what He please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which He sent it" (Isaiah 55:11). That's why it's so important to speak God's word aloud when you're in His presence.

As you pray to God, be sincere and speak to Him from your heart. Let Him know your fears and the things that you are concerned about. Tell Him specifically what it is you are believing Him to do for You today. James 4:2 says,"Ye have not, because Ye ask not."

Pray blessings over your family and ask God to protect, guide, and keep them from any trouble that comes their way.

Pray for anyone God puts on your heart while you're in prayer.

And last but not least, forgive anyone that may have wronged you. Pray for them also, then release them to God.

During your day, stay away from negative conversations. If someone is in a bad mood or looks a little down, lift them up with a kind word or a compliment. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad (Proverbs 12:25).

Expect good things to happen in your life today. Expect God to bless you today. Why? Because He loves you, Beloved.

Have a blessed and favored day!
