Let Nothing And No One Steal Your Joy

Let Nothing And No One Steal Your Joy

Our Father, My God, I rise to this day with a repentant heart overflowing with gratitude, joy, love, and praise, to You, the King of Glory and my Heart, My Lord and Savior, and my First Desire. Father, I am thankful that I am and always have been kept by You through every trial, every test, every sickness, and every storm. I am thankful for every blessing and every lesson along the Path of Life. I am acutely aware that every life experience has been building blocks and stones that created a stronger foundation with You as the cornerstone of my life. I am thankful that in every situation I learned to look to You and search Your Word for comfort, joy, and peace. I fully understand happiness is transient and is rooted in what could happen to me and what people think of me. But the Joy that You give is eternal, the world did not give it to me, and nothing or no one can take it away. I refuse to relinquish the joy that You have given to me because if I do, I will have no strength or power to move forward in my life or to be grateful for all that is given to me under grace, in Your time and season. There are times when it may be hard to distinguish between happiness and joy with everything that is going on in the world and our lives. I choose to remember that I am never alone, and You are my Fortress and Refuge, the bridge over troubled waters, water and food in dry places, light in the darkness, my dragon slayer, my joy, my peace, my eternal hope, my mountain mover, my Shepherd, my comforter, the giver of all that I have and my Redeemer. I am thankful that You know all about me and the things that are hidden in my subconscious mind that I can no longer remember because You are the only one who really knows my past, present, and future because You are my Creator who created me on purpose with purpose. I am certain that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy our lives and faith in You; he uses those closest to us to blame, shame, and sometimes us by any means possible. Father, I am assured that You are forgiving, faithful, and loving; You are the only one who gives lasting joy, comfort, and peace in every circumstance. Thank You, for being my Sole Provider. Hallelujah! Amen!

Psalm 16:11; 28:7 ESV: You make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song, I give thanks to him. Romans 15:13 ESV: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Grand Rising! Good Morning to you on this blessed day. Remember, “God teaches us the way of life. In His presence is total joy and reasons to celebrate. Beautiful things are always in our right hand if we stay present and be thankful for all that is given to us, even the storms that break our hearts and make us cry.” Just remember, after every storm the sun shines and new life begins. Be thankful for life knowing You are never alone or forsaken and God will provide all that You need. Let not your heart be troubled, neither be afraid, God is with You and He will provide all the strength and more joy. Just thank Him and praise Him anyway for whatever you have in this present moment. Abundant blessings, have an amazing day!

FYI: Prayer is free. So was the word of God until man transcribed it from the scrolls putting their own twist on it, then it became for sale; this displeases God. We do know right from wrong whether we do it or not, God put it in our hearts before we were born. Please share with those who are open to receiving the word of our Lord and Savior, the way of salvation, and all of God’s blessings.
