A Prayer for Joy
You haven't truly laughed in a while — and your soul is starving for it.
God, I've been so serious for so long that I forgot how to enjoy life. Ambush me with unexpected moments of joy today. A song that hits right. A stranger's kindness. A reason to smile for no reason. Restore the lightness in my spirit that stress stole from me.
Joy is coming for you whether you're ready or not — God is that generous. Amen.
When to pray this
Joy is not the same as a good mood. It survives circumstances that happiness does not. Ask for it plainly, especially in a season where it feels unavailable.
