James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

And here’s this simple “pocket prayer” for you today:

Dear Father.  Teach me to accept what you’ve given. I may not always understand circumstances, but show me how they are blessings and give me gratitude for all your gifts.

Rain your blessings on my friends and family today. Give them hope whatever they face. Thank you that Your blessings never end. In Jesus’ name, amen.
