Heavenly Father, I come to You in Jesus’ Name to thank you that the Word of God has within it the power to produce joy. When my life is closely in touch with You, You walk with me through difficult times so that I do not have to endure them alone. And in times of great prosperity, I thank You for keeping me from becoming prideful or complacent.

I praise You that when I walk with Jesus daily, You give me the joy of being level-headed no matter what the circumstances are. Nehemiah 8:10b “…the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Father, since the joy You give far exceeds any human joy, I ask for an abundance of it. Please guide me in the choices I make and the actions I take so that I can experience all the joy You desire for me. John 15:11 “‘These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.‘”

Direct me to understand that Your deep joy comes only to those who value You more than anything else.  I ask for the blessing Paul expressed in Romans 15:13. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
