Find joy even in hardship.

Jesus Have Mercy On Us: The Cry That Cleanses
The ten lepers cried out for healing, but only one came back to thank Him. He received something greater than physical cleansing. Leprosy mirrors sin: it separates, corrupts, and leaves us unclean. Yet Christ still responds to those who cry out in faith. The real question is not whether He will show mercy, but whether we will respond with obedience, gratitude, and saving faith.

Lord, Thank You...even when I don't feel like it!
Gratitude is easy in good times—but Scripture calls us to give thanks even in hardship. Thankfulness isn’t denying pain; it’s trusting the God who rules over it. David praised God daily in trouble. Paul sang in prison. In every circumstance, gratitude becomes an act of faith, declaring that God is still good, still present, and still at work.
