Joy

I will... be glad about my people. No one will ever hear the sound of weeping or crying in it again. ~ Isaiah 65:19 (CEB)

So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy. ~ John 16:22 (NLT)

KEY THOUGHT:

Jesus is the source of our joy.

PRAYER:

Compassionate God, thank you for being here for us in the midst of trying times. I confess that I let it all get to me sometimes and I get discouraged. Fill me with the joy that comes through Jesus -- the joy which transcends even pandemics. I'm going to allow your joy to overcome the sadness and discouragement. Amen.
