Scripture: Psalm 16:11 (KJV)
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Empowering Devotion:
Joy is not found in circumstances or material things—it is found in the presence of the Lord. During this season of Lent, God calls us back to the place where joy is restored—not temporary happiness, but a deep, abiding joy that strengthens and sustains us.
The world tries to offer fleeting pleasures, but they cannot satisfy the soul. True joy flows from intimacy with God. When we enter His presence through worship, prayer, and meditation on His Word, we are reminded of His goodness, His faithfulness, and His unchanging love. There, our hearts are lifted, our spirits renewed, and our joy restored.
Many have allowed life’s burdens to rob them of their joy. But God desires that His people walk in joy daily—because joy is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). If your joy has diminished, today is your invitation to return to His presence. Spend time sitting before Him, not asking for anything, but simply resting in who He is.
In His presence, heaviness lifts, peace flows, and joy is renewed. No matter what you face, remember—your joy is found in Him.
Inspiring Prayer:
Father, I thank You because I know You hear me. Let Your will be done as I come into Your presence today. Restore my joy, Lord. Remind me that in You, I have everything I need.
Forgive me for the times I sought joy in temporary things. Draw me closer to You, where my heart finds peace, strength, and unshakable joy. Fill me again with the joy of my salvation.
Let Your presence surround me, lifting every burden and renewing my spirit. I receive Your joy today, and I will walk in it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
