With Joy And Gladness



But may all who search for you
    be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation
    repeatedly shout, “The L
ORD is great!”

—Psalm 40:16 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


May all of my days be filled with joy and gladness as I fervently search for You in every moment of each new day!


Help me to seek You first:

In praise and worship—declaring who You are and all the amazing things You have done for me.

In prayer—laying out the depths of my heart before You.

In reading and studying Your Word—that I might know You more.

And in quietness before You—that I might hear Your voice speaking to my spirit.

Help me to see Your hand at work:

In me—as You change my heart and patiently mold me into who You designed me to be.

Through me—as You use me to minister good things to others by filling my mouth with words of loving Truth and causing all of my actions to be a reflection my Savior’s love for all of us.

And all around me—as by Your Spirit You show me how I can join in with the work You have begun in others and encourage them to join me in drawing near to You.

May my love for my Savior and the joy and peace that knowing Him brings me, never diminish, as I shout aloud His greatness forevermore!


May all of my days be filled with joy and gladness as I fervently search for You in every moment of each new day!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
