Sometimes, when I have a bad day, I just long for it to be over. I pray to God, asking him to let it pass by quickly so I can just go to sleep and put the day behind me. I dread those type of days, as most do, and will for them to not occur. But the truth is, bad days come. Fire and trials and pain come. And every day, even the bad ones, were created by God.

Even on the bad days, we can remember that it is a day the Lord Himself has made, so we can rejoice and be glad in it. With each day brings new possibilities, new promises, and new opportunities to make new choices.

And even a string of bad days, a month of bad days, a year of bad days - they are days! They are life! They were created by God! This means there is a plan for these days and a hope for these days. If a new day comes it means life has continued and there is more to do and learn and grow.

In the spirit of transparency and honesty, I find myself in a particularly difficult season. I feel like I have been drowning in bad days. But I'm not dead yet, so I know God has a plan and purpose for this season. I can rejoice in that and in my creator, knowing He isn't done with me yet. I have hope knowing this truth. What about you?
