00:31 In these challenging times
00:32 when joy can be a difficult thing to find, 00:35 it's so good to know 00:36 that as we turn to the Word of God, 00:38 we can find encouragement 00:39 that lets us know 00:40 that His joy is still available. 00:42 In Psalm 126:5, the Bible tells us, 00:46 "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy." 00:50 That means the difficulty that we now face 00:53 will one day be replaced with joy 00:55 as we keep trusting in the Lord. 00:57 If you're going 00:58 through a challenging time right now, 01:00 trusting in the Word of God, 01:01 those precious words are full of life and promise. 01:05 Psalm 16:11 says, 01:08 "You will show me the path of life, 01:10 in Your presence is fullness of joy, 01:13 at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." 01:17 Are you going through a difficult time? 01:19 Is your joy being challenged in today's changing world? 01:23 There is no greater joy than the joy of the Lord 01:25 and trusting that He has everything 01:27 under control. 01:35 My Jesus, my Savior 01:41 Lord there is none like You 01:45 All of my days, I want to praise 01:50 The wonders 01:51 Of Your mighty love 01:58 My comfort, my shelter 02:03 Tower of refuge and strength 02:07 Let every breath, all that I am 02:13 Never cease 02:14 To worship You 02:21 Shout to the Lord 02:23 All the earth let us sing 02:27 Power and majesty 02:29 Praise to the King 02:32 Mountains bow down 02:34 And the seas will roar 02:38 At the sound of Your name 02:44 I sing for joy at the work of Your hands 02:50 Forever I'll love You 02:52 Forever I'll stand 02:56 Nothing compares to the promise 03:00 I have in You 03:08 Our precious Heavenly Father, 03:11 it is such a joy to come to You in prayer, 03:14 knowing that You are there, 03:16 You are hearing each prayer, each heartache, 03:20 each joy that a person is going through right now. 03:23 We thank You for the Word of God. 03:26 We thank You for the promises that we can hold on to. 03:29 And we thank You for the future 03:31 and a hope that You have for each and every one. 03:35 I pray that those people out there 03:37 that are going through challenging times, 03:40 that You will be the lifter of their heads right now. 03:44 Strengthen them and encourage them, Lord. 03:47 And we know that You will. 03:49 I just want them to put their trust in You 03:53 because You have such joy and peace for them. 03:57 Thank You, Father, for hearing this prayer. 04:00 In Jesus' name, amen 04:07 Lord, we come to You today in the name of Jesus 04:11 and we just wanna thank You, dear Father, 04:13 for Your joy is our strength. 04:15 No matter what befalls us, 04:17 we know that joy comes in the morning, 04:20 for Your mercies are new every day. 04:22 You have made known to us Your path of life. 04:25 And You fill us with joy in Your presence. 04:28 We love You, Jesus. 04:30 We love You and we ask this in Jesus' name. 04:34 Amen. 04:38 Dear Heavenly Father, 04:40 thank You for being our mighty God 04:41 and thank You for Your promises 04:44 that we can find joy in the midst of turmoil. 04:47 We confess that we need You every day 04:50 and every moment. 04:52 As Nehemiah pleaded, 04:54 the joy of the Lord is my strength. 04:57 Dear Lord, would You please help us find 04:59 the joy and look for the promises 05:01 that You have for each one of us. 05:03 Help us to have joy in our hearts, in our families, 05:07 and look to you for guidance. 05:09 We love You, Lord, and dear Jesus we pray. 05:12 Amen. 05:16 I have found the pleasure 05:20 That I once craved 05:22 It is joy and peace within 05:27 What a wondrous blessing 05:30 I am saved 05:32 From the awful gulf of sin 05:38 It is joy, unspeakable 05:42 And full of glory 05:45 Full of glory Full of glory 05:49 It is joy 05:50 Unspeakable 05:52 And full of glory 05:54 Oh, the half has never yet been told 06:03 Dear Jesus, thank You for all the joy and happiness 06:07 You give me. 06:08 Without You I would be very sad. 06:10 Please be with all the people who need joy in their lives. 06:15 Jesus, please help them 06:16 to feel that You are next to them. 06:19 I know You will help anyone who asks 06:21 because You helped me when I ask. 06:24 Please give joy and peace 06:26 in place of sadness and discouragement. 06:30 I love You, Jesus. 06:31 In Your name, I pray.
