Begin by reading Psalm 5:11:

“But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them shout for joy forever. May you shelter them, and may those who love your name boast about you. ”

Take a moment to enjoy God’s presence and remember the beauty in His eternal promises. Think of others who may need prayer for seeking God’s joy and pray for them.

Dear Jesus,

Open our eyes and hearts to your blessings. Allow us to delight in you fully. Shape our lives and help us keep our thoughts fixed on you. Keep us from the distractions of the world so we can find joy in your glory and hope in your everlasting promises.

Let us trust you alone for every future step so that we may be filled with joy from relying on your presence. Thank you for coming into the world as a baby, and promising to return to us again one day.

Amen.
