Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Romans 12:12
Today we take a moment to be quiet before God. In the busyness of this season, and in the presence of unrelenting heartache in our world, we seek the joy that only God gives. Let’s pray.
Heavenly Father, in these uncertain times, we seek Your presence and guidance. Amidst the sufferings and challenges that surround us, we ask for Your joy to fill our hearts. Help us to remember that hope and joy are found in You, and not in the fleeting circumstances of this world. Teach us to be patient and to trust in Your perfect timing, knowing that You work all things together for our good.
Grant us the devoted faith to remain anchored in prayer, lifting our burdens and worries to You, and receiving Your peace that surpasses all understanding. As we navigate these turbulent times, let our hearts be a testament to Your joy, shining brightly as a beacon of hope to those around us.
We pray for Your strength to endure and for the reassurance of Your unwavering love, which sustains us through every trial. May our lives be a reflection of Your joy, bringing light and encouragement to others, even in the darkest of times.
In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
