Cultivating joy through a close relationship with God.
Gracious God, help me to cultivate a life filled with Your joy. Teach me to find happiness in my relationship with You rather than in fleeting distractions. As I embrace Your presence, may my heart be filled with gratitude and delight. Allow me to spread Your love and joy to those around me, becoming a light in the darkness. I look to You for strength and encouragement every day. Thank You for never leaving my side. Amen. (Nehemiah 8:10; John 15:11)
