June 19–Heart for the Lord–Day 19–REJOICING HEART
\nThen Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD! The LORD has made me strong. Now I have an answer for my enemies; I rejoice because you rescued me.<\/em> 1 Samuel 2:1 NLT<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\n<\/u>A Rejoicing Heart can smile no matter what situation it is in because it knows it belongs to the Lord and it knows He will strengthen and protect it.<\/p>\n

Let’s pray for a Rejoicing Heart so we can smile at our enemies and feel secure as Hannah did.<\/p>\n

Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:
\n<\/u>Dear Lord,
\ntoday I ask that You create in me a Rejoicing Heart so I can rejoice in You each day no matter what my situation is.<\/p>\n

I want the joy that comes from knowing my salvation is from You, dear Lord, so then I can smile at my enemies, as my heart rejoices, because a Rejoicing Heart knows You are in control of everything!<\/p>\n

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.<\/em>\u00a0 Habakkuk 3:18 [NKJV]<\/p>\n
