Dear Heavenly Father, I come before you today with a heart that seeks the beauty and fulfillment of joy. Lord, you are the source of joy, and it is your joy that strengthens me. Even in times of sorrow and disappointment, your joy remains constant in my life.
I pray, Lord, for an increase of your joy in my life. Remove anything that interferes with my joy, whether it be worry, anger, doubt, or fear. Replace it with the light of your joy, love, and peace.
Lord, remind me always of your word in Nehemiah 8:10, ‘For the joy of the Lord is your strength.’ Let your joy radiate in all aspects of my life, illuminating every circumstance with the assurance of your love and Grace.
I thank you for you have heard my prayer, and I trust that you are working to answer it according to your perfect will and timing. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
