In the middle of this week-long series on renewal, today we’re going to make room for God to renew our joy. Joy is something I so often struggle to walk in as I allow the cares and burdens of life to weigh me down. But every morning is a new opportunity to come before our Father, give our cares over to him, and choose again the path of joy. May God guide us today into a meaningful renewal of joy as we set our eyes and hearts on him.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 51:12, and today's worship is You are my joy by United Pursuit

With all the emotional and spiritual challenges of our time, one thing is clear — true peace is only found in the midst of God’s presence.
