Keep the river flowing

**Joyce Meyer

Deep inside each of us, there is a river of life. This river is a wonderful gift given to each of us by God. It flows with good health, a positive outlook on life, and a generous and forgiving attitude.

Many people, however, have allowed their river to become stopped-up. They are always discouraged, and no matter what they do, they cannot seem to snap out of it. Years of neglect have turned a once-power-flowing river into a small stream. Do you know people like this? Does this sound like your life?

Until you are able to get your river cleared out and unclogged, everything will be difficult, disappointing and unfulfilling. You will be unable to taste the water that satisfies like nothing else.

Get in the river by clearing what blocks its flow. Make a choice today to stop spending your life fighting, struggling and trudging through the mud with every step. Ask God to help you clear out the debris. He will show you what is blocking the flow and how to get rid of it. Then, enjoy the satisfying flow of the river of life!

Prayer starter: God, I want to keep Your river of living water flowing in me. Show me what the debris is that is blocking the way and then show me how to clear it out.

John 7:38

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.
