Joy
The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing
(Zephaniah 3:17; NIV).
My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him
(Psalm 28: 7; NIV).
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete
(John 15:11; NIV).
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love
(Galatians 5:6; NIV).
Father,
May we know
Your joy:
The joy of living,
The joy of giving,
The joy of caring,
The joy of sharing,
And the joy of loving others
As ourselves.
We ask all this
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
