The Power of Gratitude: Finding Fulfillment and Peace in God’s Goodness

 

The Power of Gratitude and Fulfillment in God

It is truly a good thing to give thanks to God. Gratitude reminds us of who He is and how faithful He has always been. When we take the time to pause and reflect on God’s goodness, we begin to see how every moment — even the difficult ones — has been covered by His grace.

Making gratitude a daily habit strengthens our hearts in times of weariness. It fills us with hope when life feels uncertain and opens our eyes to see the blessings that are already around us. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what God has already provided. It renews our faith and positions us to receive more of His goodness and favor.

True fulfillment comes when our hearts are both spiritually connected and deeply grounded. It’s that beautiful balance of walking closely with God while appreciating the life He has given us right now. When we are thankful, we begin to see life through the lens of purpose and peace.

Life takes on a whole new meaning when we choose to live surrendered — trusting that God is in control, no matter what season we’re walking through. Gratitude keeps us expectant, hopeful, and anchored in faith.

Today, I pray that you are blessed with fulfillment, peace, and a surplus of divine provision in Jesus’ name. May your heart overflow with gratitude, and may you continue to see God’s goodness in every area of your life.

With love and joy,

Maryam 💛

Take That Step and Trust God

 

🌟 Take That Step and Trust God 🌟

By Maryam | Maryam’s Joyful Life

What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people? 💖

It’s nighttime, but I’ve been wanting to post this blog for the past few days. Life has been busy — but tonight feels like the perfect moment to sit down, connect with you, and share what’s been on my heart. It’s Friday night, and such a beautiful time to talk about something that’s been lighting up my spirit: starting a new venture and trusting God through the process.

Thank you so much for being here and for checking out Maryam’s Joyful Life. I appreciate you more than you know! 🌸

A Day Filled with Purpose

Today was such an amazing day for me. I got to spend quality time with my family, serve my community through my products and services, and just truly enjoy the blessings of the day. There’s something so fulfilling about pouring into others, creating something meaningful, and making an impact — no matter how small it may seem.

But here’s one thing I’ve noticed about life: when things aren’t going the way you want them to, the best thing you can do is keep taking action toward your goals.

Sitting still and waiting for things to change on their own only makes you feel stuck. But when you take action — even a tiny one — your confidence grows, your faith strengthens, and your focus shifts back to what’s possible.

🙏🏽 Pray, Trust, and Move Forward

I can’t stress this enough: pray, pray, pray, pray, pray.

Whenever you feel low or uncertain, prayer is the fastest way to rise back up. I’ve experienced this so many times — when I turn to God, surrender everything to Him, and trust His plan, peace always follows.

Because truthfully, without God’s help and guidance, we can’t do anything. So pray first, and then take action.

If you just sit and expect things to fall into place without moving, you’ll stay stuck. Every time I’ve had an idea or dream, I’ve had to take that first little step — and that’s when things start happening.

So no matter how small the action is, take it!

🌱 Keep Moving, Even When It’s Hard

When you take action, something shifts inside of you. Your confidence returns, your focus moves away from what’s not working, and you start seeing possibilities again.

Even if you don’t have all the resources right now, that’s okay. Use what you’ve got and pray that God provides the rest — because He always does. God never fails.

If you’re in a season where things feel uncertain, where you’re trying to figure it all out and it’s hard, I want you to know this: God can make a way. You’re reading this for a reason — and I truly believe God is about to open a new door for you.

So tonight, let this be your reminder: take that step.

Take action toward your dream.

Keep your faith strong.

Trust God, even when you can’t see how things will work out.

Say it out loud:

“Lord, I trust You. I may not know how You’ll show up, but I know You will.”

And as you keep trusting, watch how your situation begins to change — because it will.

🧁 Bake With Zozo: Homemade Blueberry Muffins Made with Love

In this adorable new episode of Bake With Zoo, our little chef Zozo takes over the kitchen to whip up some delicious blueberry muffins — fluffy, sweet, and made with so much joy (and a little help from Mama 😉).

From cracking eggs to mixing the batter and baking in silicone cups, Zozo shows that baking can be both fun and creative. The laughter, teamwork, and taste test at the end are the icing on the cake (or should we say muffin)! 🫐

🌌 Levy Explores Jupiter: Fun Facts About the Giant Planet

Meanwhile, our scientist-in-training Levy continues his Solar System learning series with an exciting new episode on Jupiter — the biggest planet in our solar system!

In this fun and educational video, Levy shares all sorts of amazing facts:

• Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and can fit 1,300 Earths inside it!

• The planet spins faster than any other — one rotation in 9 hours and 50 minutes.

• Its famous Great Red Spot is a storm larger than Earth that’s been raging for over 300 years!

• Jupiter’s four main moons — Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa — each have fascinating stories, like Ganymede having its own mini magnetic field and Europa possibly hiding oceans beneath its icy crust.

🎥 Watch Levy’s full Jupiter episode below!

You Are Stronger Than You Think — Rise Up in God’s Power!

 

Welcome to Maryam’s Joyful Life Blog! 🌸

What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely friends! It’s such a blessing to have you here today. I’m so glad you stopped by because what I’m about to share with you has the power to change your life for good.

Let me ask you something—who told you that you couldn’t make it? Who lied to you and made you believe that your story was over and failure would define you? Whose words have you allowed to sink into your heart and cause you to spiral downward, agreeing with the lies of the enemy?

Today, I want to remind you of what God says about you. The Word of God declares, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11). That means no matter what your situation looks like, God’s plan for your life is good.

Watch my latest podcast with my daughter! 

The enemy may try to convince you otherwise. Remember, Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; but I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10). You’ve been given power and authority in Christ to resist the devil—and the Bible promises that he will flee from you!

You haven’t lost your authority; you’ve just allowed distractions and challenges to cloud your awareness of it. But it’s time to rise up again, beloved. You are stronger than you think, greater than you’ve ever believed, and the power of God within you is far greater than anything that comes against you.

So today, I want you to praise and pray your way out of that heaviness. Speak the name of Jesus over your mind, your body, and your soul. Lift your hands, lift your heart, and declare freedom over your life.

I decree and declare in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that you and I are free indeed—strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. We walk with boldness, rooted in Christ, standing firm in the truth that Christ in us is the hope of glory!

And finally, my friend—don’t let anyone steal your joy. Protect it. Guard it. Nurture it. Because your joy is your strength, and it’s the evidence that God is still at work in you.

Stay encouraged, stay joyful, and stay rooted in the Word. You are victorious! 💖

— With love,

Maryam

🌞 What If Today Is That Day?

 

What’s up, wonderful, amazing, sweet, and lovely people? 💛

How are you all doing today? I hope you’re having an amazing day. I’m hoping that it’s still your joy no matter what’s going on. Welcome to Maryam’s Joyful Life Blog! It’s a beautiful day today, and I’m so happy you’re here.

Today, I just want to talk about something simple—something that might seem normal—but could actually turn into something extraordinary.

You know how some days just feel like “one of those days”? Maybe you woke up feeling a little off, like it’s just going to be another regular day. But what if, instead of expecting it to be another normal day, you decided to expect something amazing?

What if you decided to bring a different kind of excitement into today—something new, something fresh—and break that old habit of expecting the same? What if you just shifted your energy a little, moved your body like someone who just got great news, smiled a little wider, and decided that today is going to be the best day of your life?

What If Today Is the Day Everything Changes?

What if today is the day your prayers finally get answered?

What if today your life completely turns around—the business takes off, the money you’ve been praying for comes in, or that one opportunity you’ve been waiting for finally shows up?

What if today you wake up and find out that the healing you’ve been praying for has already taken place? What if the treatment worked, the job came through, the doors opened, and everything that used to be hard just started working out in your favor?

What if today is the day your inbox is full of congratulations, your phone keeps ringing with good news, and people can’t stop saying, “Wow, this is amazing!”

What if you get that check in the mail that changes everything, or that email that says “You’ve been approved!” What if today you meet your dream partner, find out you’re pregnant with healthy babies, or move into your dream home?

Just think about it for a second—how would you move if today was that day? How would you talk? How would you praise God?

Act Like It’s Already Happened

My encouragement to you today is to start acting like it’s already done. Start praising like it’s already yours. Start expecting the good things to happen for you.

Because when you shift your energy and your attitude, everything around you starts to shift too.

I’m praying that today is that day for you—the day you get your big breakthrough, the day that makes sense of everything you’ve been through. The day that shows you God has been working behind the scenes the whole time.

My Prayer for You

I pray that God’s hand is stretched toward you today.

That His love surrounds you.

That His mercy speaks for you.

I pray that blessings overflow in your life today, that breakthroughs come easily, and that everything you’ve been waiting for starts to happen in a beautiful, miraculous way.

May today be the day your story changes for good.
