Prayers for Day Eleven

The past year has been hard and sad for me.  I have intensely felt the pain of living in a fallen world.  This is nothing new; after all, we live in a world whose prince is one of darkness.  However, when that threatens to rob us of our joy, we need to turn to Scripture.  Psalm 119:111 reminds us that:  “Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.”

Go to the Word to reignite your joy.  The psalmist writes, “in your presence there is fullness of joy”.  Nehemiah reminded the people that “the joy of the Lord is your strength.”  On the night of Jesus’ birth, the angels told the shepherds, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy”. 

Thanks be to God that “joy comes in the morning”!  Not only each morning when God gives us a new day with opportunities to glorify Him, but also that great morning when we open our eyes in the presence of Jesus….joy unspeakable.
