Daily Devotion – August 19, 2023

“Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise.” James 5:13 NRSV

Where do you turn when your heart or mind is hurting? From whom do you seek comfort? Do you take it to God in prayer?
What about when you are happy, and everything is going well? Do you praise and thank God for it?
We tend to rely on God’s strength and comfort when we are low, but I don’t think we remember to bring our gratitude and praise to Him when things go our way.
We should come to God in all seasons of our lives.

Dear God, I come to You today with a prayer of thanksgiving. I praise You for all the blessings You have bestowed. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
