Beside Still Waters: 5 Days of Being StillSample
Shout for Joy
We often pray without expecting much of a response, so it is good to acknowledge those times when we see that God has answered our prayers.
These stories in Scripture help to build our faith, and so do the stories of our answered prayers. They are there to be shared. Be encouraged today to continue to present your requests to God, knowing that he is listening.
Father God, I have many prayers and petitions, some of them answered, others not. I am encouraged that you do answer prayers, understanding that sometimes it is not the answer I want. Let me continue to remember and share those stories where I have witnessed your answers, and let these stories encourage those who hear them.

About this Plan
Just as the psalmist encountered, we can be overwhelmed by the circumstances of life. We run into situations that are frustrating and discouraging. But we also experience the peace and protection of our Creator, whose goodness isn’t dependent on our situation. The psalms are full of God’s unchanging love and faithfulness. Find the hope, joy, and peace that is abundant in God as you reflect the next 5 days.
