Dear Lord,

May we wake up singing your praises, giving you the glory for everything that you’ve done and for the many ways you reveal yourself to us. Our minds cannot fully comprehend your glory, but we know that it is great and limitless. Help us to give you praise in all circumstances-in good times and in bad. May our joy be found in your presence alone and not in the outcome of the various situations in our lives. We understand that there will be good times and bad but that in all of this we can still have joy. Happiness is fleeting but the joy that comes from you is everlasting. May the joy that we have be something that others see and serve as a testament of your glory. We love you and are thankful to be your sons and daughters. May the joy of the Lord be our strength. 

In Jesus name,

Amen
