Prayer for Joy & Happiness
Heavenly Father,
You are my exceeding joy!
Keep me abiding in you so Your joy may be in me and that my joy may be full.
Lord, make me rejoice in you always!
Teach me to ask and receive, that my joy may be full.
In your presence is fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Let me experience everything in your presence and what is found at your right hand.
Father God, give me the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness! This is Your gift and Your will!
Your word is to me the joy and the rejoicing of my heart!
You want Your joy to be fulfilled in me! Show me how You can make it happen! Lead me into it.
I ask You to fill me with all joy and peace in believing, that I may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Turn my sorrow into joy.
In Jesus name,
Amen
