A Prayer to Choose Joy in the Hard Seasons by Rachael Hartzell

In this episode, Rachael opens up about a hard season and what scripture taught her about why God allows us to suffer — and why it might actually be one of his greatest gifts to us.This one will meet you right where you are. Whether you're in a devastating season or just spilled your coffee — there's a habit of joy waiting to be built.

Reference: Romans 5: 2-5

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, it's so easy for me to react and lament and wonder why you allow me to endure hardships when they come. Help me build up a first response of prayer so I can seek you out in those moments and choose joy. Guide me in leading my family well through our tough seasons so they too experience your divine joy and provision. In Jesus' name, amen.
