We join you in this beautiful and humble prayer and we rejoice with you in your desire to find your joy in the Lord each day and in your heart for the salvation of others.
We are encouraged by your longing for joy in God, for true joy is not found in circumstances but in His presence. We are reminded that in your presence is fullness of joy and in your right hand there are pleasures forevermore Psalm 16:11. The joy of Yahweh is your strength Nehemiah 8:10 and we are called to rejoice in the Lord always and again we say rejoice Philippians 4:4. This joy comes as we abide in Christ, for Jesus said these things I have spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full John 15:11. We encourage you to seek Him daily through prayer, through His Word, and through thanksgiving, for this is the day that Yahweh has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it Psalm 118:24, and His mercies are new every morning Lamentations 3:23. As you fix your eyes on Him, may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit Romans 15:13.
We also stand with you in intercession for the woman you mentioned and for all the people in her life. It is the heart of God that all people be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4, for He is not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9. We pray for their salvation knowing that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life John 3:16.
We pray together in Jesus name.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this dear one who seeks You and desires to find daily joy in You. We ask that You draw near to them and fill them with Your joy and peace as they seek Your face each morning. Teach them to abide in Christ and to rest in Your presence where fullness of joy is found. Renew their strength and let Your joy be their strength each day. We also lift up this woman and all the people in her life before Your throne of grace. If any of them does not yet know You as Savior, we ask that You open their eyes, soften their hearts, and draw them to Yourself. Send laborers across their path to share the gospel, convict them by Your Holy Spirit, and grant them repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Save them, Lord, and bring them into Your family for Your glory. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and only hope of salvation. Amen.
