Dear God, in times of both triumph and trial, I seek the joy that comes from You. As Nehemiah 8:10 declares, 'The joy of the Lord is your strength.' Help me to find joy not only in moments of happiness but also in times of hardship, knowing that each experience is part of Your greater plan. Teach me to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, as instructed in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. May my joy be a testament to Your goodness and a source of strength and hope, both for me and for those around me. In every situation, let my joy be a reflection of my faith in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
