13 | This Is the Day: How to Choose Joy When Life Feels Overwhelming


Listen Later

Do you ever wake up and feel like the day is already running ahead of you? The alarm goes off, the to-do list is waiting, and before the coffee even brews you’re already overwhelmed.

In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we’re talking about what it really means to choose joy — not when everything’s going right, but right in the middle of the chaos. Psalm 118:24 reminds us: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Joy isn’t the same as happiness. Happiness depends on circumstances, but joy is rooted in God’s presence and His promises. We’ll explore why joy matters, how it can anchor your heart in the middle of the mess, and practical ways to live it out today.

You’ll learn:

✨ What Psalm 118:24 really means in context
✨ How to practice joy even on stressful or disappointing days
✨ Simple, everyday ways to notice joy and share it with others
✨ Why choosing joy leads to real peace

Friend, you don’t have to wait for a “perfect” day to rejoice. If God gave you today, then He gave you purpose in it — and His joy is your strength.
