My Greatest Joy

 


I take joy in doing your will, my God,

    for your instructions are written on my heart.   

Psalm 40:8 (NLT)

 




Father God,

 

May my greatest joy be found in doing Your will!

 

Help me to remain passionate about discovering Your will for me—as I take the time to quiet my mind, to search the scriptures, and to allow Your Spirit to reveal the Truth that is waiting there for me in Your Word—so that Your instructions would be established within my heart, and I might faithfully apply them to my life.

 

Let my earnest seeking after Your will result in Your instructions being written so deeply within my heart that that which is my duty to do—as a follower of Christ—will truly become my joy and delight and privilege to do!

 

Then help me to live out the rest of my life in Your Truth—and experience the joy and the peace that come when I put all my trust in You and follow Your instructions, in willing and heartfelt obedience to Your will for me.

 

May my greatest joy be found in doing Your will!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
