[FONT=&quot]Scriptures Tell Us That,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It is written both in the New Testament and the[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Old testament. Well I believe most of us would[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ask the question "How can I be always joyful".[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If we think about it though, I don't believe God is[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]saying walk around with a smile all day. Although[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]that would be ideal it is very impractical. There[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]are things beyond our control that happen within[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]us that make the human condition imperfect. So,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]what we can do though when things like sadness,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]despair or many other undesirable issues come[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]up is turn to Him. If we have a solid prayer routine,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]we can easily turn to Him when situations such as[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]these turn up. In my earlier days, I would allow[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]that type of thing eat me up. As I've matured, I am[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]able to redirect those negatives and turn them to[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]positives in God. While the issue may not clear up[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]immediately, our trust in Him tells that help is on[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the way, and it always is. We trust all evil will soon[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]depart when we allow God to be our guide. Alone[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]we can do nothing.[/FONT]
