For the Lord is always good. He is always loving and kind, and His faithfulness goes on and on to each succeeding generation.
— Psalm 100:5 LB

When I neglect to do
what I know I should do —
because I am afraid,
He is good.
When I people-please,
because it feeds my soul —
as the Lord sits waiting,
He is good.
When I get stuck in a spin-cycle
of stress and anxiety —
overwhelmed with worry,
He is good.
When I slam into rock walls,
blinded by stubborn faults —
yet refuse to change,
He is good.
When I embrace discouragement,
which fuels self-pity —
which leaves me spiraling,
He is good.
Always, always, He is good —
Despite me.
..........
Lord, in everything and at every turn, open my eyes to see Your goodness today, for You are good. Always.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
