You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand

Life can often be challenging and frustrating, but we should remember that God has promised to help us throughout all that we do and to help lead us to good things. This verse from Psalms 16:11 is a good example of this:
"You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
If you're sick, worried about someone, in financial trouble or facing other challenges right now, I know that it may not be seem like it helps a lot to hear that God has promised to bring you joy and eternal pleasures. It is true, though, and it will come to you. It may not be in a way that you expect or at a time that you expect, but it will come.
The Lord is a loving God who created you and cares for you. It really is a miracle just to be here alive today, and it is amazing to think about all that God has done to bring you, me and everyone else to this world.
Knowing that God has done all of this already, you should also know that God wants you to enjoy life and have pleasure.
God has given us a guide to living through the Bible and has promised us everlasting life in Heaven. I realize that the Bible can be difficult to understand at times, as I struggle with it just like everyone else. I want to live a life that is pleasing to God, but I often am not sure about which way to turn. But while I and many others are often confused about what actions to take in our lives, I also know that God tries to help lead us toward the right path.
I also am confident that God fills me with joy through mighty experiences and through very small moments in my life. God is always with you and is trying to help you through different challenges and struggles.
I hope that you will be open to seeing how God is acting in your life and trying to bring you joy no matter what you are facing. The world is an amazing place and you are an amazing person. It sounds simple to say, but it's true. I hope that you can smile today and be confident knowing that God loves you.
