Some days it's hard to sing a song of praise. God knows that. It's why he reminds us of what's coming.

Think of Jesus. Think of what he endured. Jesus loves you. Always.

Whenever you feel alone, remember that you're really not. Our gracious and loving God is always with you.

Jesus' delight in God was really delight in loving us and giving us good things to hold onto when we also go through difficult times.

When it seems God is far away in the present, remember how he has helped his people in the past.

As Jesus quoted Psalm 22 from the cross, we learn that God sees you, understands you, and will save you.

Evil won't win. God does, and so do his children. The reality of that win will be surprising to everyone - but in different ways for God's enemies than it will be for God's children.

Jesus loves us now - and forever. You're going to be ok. And you are ok.

The Jesus who won for us the crown of life is also with us through life and death.

Go big in your prayers to God, remembering that our God loves to give good things to his children.
