A Prayer for Joy

 

Heavenly Father,

let all who take refuge in You be glad;

let them ever sing for joy.

Please fill me with joy in Your presence,

with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.

 

Grant that as Jesus promised,

 His joy may be in us

and our joy may be complete.

Fulfill His promise that,

though we may grieve,

our grief will turn to joy,

and no one will take away our joy.

 

Teach us to always pray with joy,

giving joyful thanks to the Father,

Who has qualified us to share

in the inheritance of His holy people

in the kingdom of light.

 

And grant us such love and faith in You

that we may be filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.

 

Amen

 

(Psalm 5:11, 16:11; John 15:11, 16:20, 16:22;

Philippians 1:4; Colossians 1:12; 1 Peter 1:8).
