A prayer to pray now

Father, sometimes my heart feels flat, Father.Like a balloon two days after a party.Your Word says my heart can rejoice in You.Not in my snacks.Not in my stuff.In You.You are more than enough to be my joy,not just the small things that come and go.Make my heart glad about You today.Glad that You made me.Glad that You are good.If something goes wrong,remind me that nothing changes who You are.Even when my mood is low,You are still the One worth being glad about.Amen.
