"Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry!" (Psalm 88:2) It's easy to get rid of anxiety from our minds as we dump our cares on the Lord in prayer. As we get rid of the junk that bogs us down, we in turn create space for joy. Think of it like this: Circumstances occur, out of our control, that could easily crush us. They might come from our job or from home or even while we're relaxing on the weekend. They come up unexpectantly and we have a choice to make . . . an attitude choice. We can choose to hand the circumstances over to God and ask Him to take control or we can roll up our mental sleeves and slug it out ourselves. But remember, joy waits our decision!
