Unshakable Joy: A Prayer To Uplift Your Spirit

Thank you,

Father,

For 2025,

And we come before you now with this prayer of joy.

Heavenly Father,

Today I come before you with a heart eager to be filled with joy,

A joy that only you can give.

You are the source of all good things,

The wellspring of happiness and peace,

And I praise your holy name for the countless blessings you pour out daily.

Father,

In a world that often feels heavy and overwhelming,

Help us to remember that joy is not dependent on circumstances but is rooted in your presence.

You have promised that in your presence there is fullness of joy.

Draw me near to you,

O God,

So I may drink deeply from this everlasting well.

Thank you for the beauty that surrounds me,

The rising sun that paints the sky,

The laughter of loved ones,

The quiet moments that speak peace to my soul.

These are glimpses of your goodness,

Reminders that you are near,

And I thank you with all my heart.

Father,

I pray for joy that cannot be shaken by trials or dimmed by hardships.

May your joy strengthen me in times of weariness,

Lift me in moments of sorrow,

And shine brightly as a testimony of your love to those around me.

Help me to reflect the light of your joy to others,

That they too may see and glorify you.

Lord,

I lift up to you any burdens or anxieties that try to steal the joy that you have given me.

I release them into your capable hands,

Trusting that you are working all things together for my good.

Restore to me the joy of my salvation,

The reminder that in you I am redeemed,

Loved,

And made whole.

Let my heart sing with thanksgiving and my spirit rejoice in your goodness.

Fill my days with moments that remind me of your presence and my nights with dreams of your peace.

May my life be a song of joy offered back to you in gratitude and love.

I praise you,

O God,

For being my strength,

My hope,

And my eternal joy.

I trust in you now and forever.

In the name of Jesus Christ,

My Savior,

I pray.

Amen.
