Joy in the Lord.

 🕯️ Amen! 🕯️

Joy in the Lord is not just an emotion — it is a deep, unshakable strength that comes from knowing Him, trusting His heart, and resting in His promises, regardless of our circumstances.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"

— Philippians 4:4

"The joy of the Lord is your strength."

— Nehemiah 8:10

A Prayer for Joy in the Lord:

Heavenly Father,

You are the source of all true joy.

When my heart is heavy,

when my soul feels dry,

remind me that my joy is found in You —

not in my situation,

not in my success,

but in Your salvation, Your presence, and Your unchanging love.

· Fill me with Your joy — a joy that runs deeper than pain.

· Anchor my soul in gladness that comes from knowing I am Yours.

· Let my life overflow with a joy that points others to You.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
