In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Lord Jesus Christ, Source of true joy, i come before you with a heart that longs for your presence, for you are my treasure, my hope, and my happiness
Teach me not to seek joy in passing things, but in your everlasting love, in your unfailing promises, and in your presence that comforts the soul and fills it with peace
Lord of Joy, when trials surround me, remind me that you are with me
When my strength fails, be my support
When my heart is burdened, let your light scatter every darkness
Fill me with your Holy Spirit, that i may carry the joy of the Gospel to everyone i meet and become a witness to your goodness, mercy, and love
Grant me a grateful heart in every circumstance, eyes that recognize your countless blessings, and lips that continually praise you, for you are good and your mercy endures forever
May my joy in you remain steadfast, my hope in you remain firm, and my love for you burn brightly until i reach your heavenly Kingdom and praise you together with all the saints
For yours is the glory, honor, and worship, together with the father and the holy spirit, now and forever. Amen
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
(Nehemiah 8:10)
