A Prayer for Joy
Jesus, thank You for becoming Immanuel, “God with us.” It’s because of You that I can experience true joy.
I admit that it can sometimes feel hard to be joyful in the middle of a busy or difficult holiday season. But when the cares of my heart are many, Your comfort gives me renewed hope and cheer.
So today, I choose to take refuge in You and rejoice. I will sing for joy because You are my strength and my salvation. In Your presence there is fullness of joy! And because of Your humble arrival over 2,000 years ago, I am now able to experience the joy of Your presence forever. Thank You.
You are always worthy of all glory, honor, and power—and so no matter what I face, I will choose to worship You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
