Get Your Joy Back!
Be joyful always;
pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for
you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18(NIV)
God’s will for you
is to see you joyful always, no matter the things going on around you. God wants
you to be happy and not stay so uptight and anxious of the future. He wants you
to enjoy your life no matter what your circumstances may look like. In fact,
when you have joy in the midst of difficult circumstances, it is the evidence
of your faith and trust in God that He will bring you through.
Bible says that the
supernatural joy of God in the believer is his strength. When you have His joy,
you can stand strong no matter what is going on around you. I have realized
that God made us all different emotionally, but you can train yourself to laugh
more. Research has shown that the average child laughs over 200 times a day,
but the average adult only laughs 4 times a day. What happened? Most adults
have allowed the pressures of this life, stress and more responsibilities to
steal their joy little by little. But understand that no adversity or negative
situation can be greater than your God!
Today, make a
decision to get your joy back. Decide that you are going to look beyond your
problems and focus solely on God to see you through. Even if you lose your
money, your job or your material possessions, don’t lose your joy! For the joy
of the Lord is your strength! Today,
pray that God will fill you with His supernatural peace and joy so that you can
live in His strength and victory!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I
humbly receive Your Word today. I choose to open my heart to You and invite You
to fill me with Your joy and strength. Thank You for showing me Your goodness
and empowering me with Your grace. I bless You today and always in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
