PRAYER
Awesome God, you are setting a great feast to gather your people. Your activity should be the cause of a constant joy that transcends even the worst of situations. We can be joyful even when we're sad. I confess, though, that I allow the sin and negatvity of the world to suck the joy from my life. Restore the joy so that I'm ready for your party. Amen.
