A CHEERFUL SPIRIT

For the poor, every day brings trouble; for the happy
heart, life is a continual feast.
Proverbs 15:15 NLT

When I think of God, my heart is so full of joy that
the notes leap and dance as they leave my pen; and
since God has given me a cheerful heart, I serve Him
with a cheerful spirit.
Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

FATHER, help me to have a happy heart. Remove the
anxiety that sometimes weighs my heart down. Keep
my heart from growing proud. Instead, give me a pure
heart — a heart that is pleasing to you. Help me to
hide your Word in my heart so that I can walk in your
ways and enjoy life that is a continual feast.
