The Joy of the LORD: A Weekly Prayer Guide (Week 47)

Dear Family,

Join us in prayer every Wednesday to Thursday as we seek God's face and tap into the joy of the LORD. This week's prayer guide, Week 47, focuses on the joy of the LORD as a key characteristic of the kingdom of God (Romans 14:17).

Joy vs. Happiness

While happiness is a fleeting emotion, joy is a long-lasting state of being characterized by contentment, satisfaction, and a settled assurance that God is in control of life overall. Joy is a response to God's Word (Psalms 119:14), God's reward to believers (Isaiah 65:14), and synonymous with God's presence (Psalms 16:11).

Prayer Points

• Pray that we will be strengthened in our being by the joy of the LORD (Nehemiah 8:10).
• Pray that God of hope will fill us with joy and peace (Romans 15:13).
• Pray that the fruit of joy will manifest at the core of our being by the workings of the Holy Spirit.
• Pray that joy will bring wellness and wholeness in our spirits, souls, bodies, hearts, and minds.
• Pray that we will experience a breakthrough in our spirits as we open ourselves to the joy of the LORD.
• Pray that the surrounding atmosphere will shift and reverberate with great joy and power.
• Pray for a breaking of yokes, chains, and bondages.
• Pray that the joy of the LORD will usher us into realms of liberty in God.
• Pray that nothing shall be able to rob us of our joy in the LORD.
• Pray that God will show forth His glory and bring solutions, that our joy might be full.
