My Prayer for Joy

Dear God,

Thank You for giving me constant access to Your presence. 

Because You are always with me, I can experience true joy at all times. 

Although the joy You give isn’t based on my circumstances, I don’t always live a life marked by joy. 

Too often, instead of trusting You, I let my problems dictate my reactions. 

Please forgive me! 

Fill me with Your joy and peace, so that by the power of Your Holy Spirit, I may abound in hope at all times. 

Help me to live a life marked by undefeatable joy. 

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
