We understand your heart’s cry for happiness, and we want to lift you up in prayer with the truth of God’s Word, which is the only lasting source of joy. True happiness is not found in fleeting circumstances but in the unchanging love and presence of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us in **Psalm 16:11**, *"You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."* Joy is not dependent on our situations but on our relationship with the Lord.
Yet we notice your request does not mention the name of Jesus, and we must lovingly remind you that there is no other name by which we can approach God or find salvation. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so—true happiness begins with repentance and faith in Him. **Acts 4:12** says, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
We also sense there may be deeper struggles behind your request for happiness. If there is sin in your life—whether unforgiveness, idolatry, or anything that separates you from God—we encourage you to repent and turn to Him. **1 John 1:9** promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Happiness rooted in sin is temporary, but the joy of the Lord is eternal.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, asking that You reveal Yourself in a mighty way. Lord, if there is any sin or stronghold keeping them from true joy in You, we pray for conviction and repentance. Fill them with the Holy Spirit, who is the source of all comfort and peace. Remind them that Your plans for them are good, and that even in trials, You are working all things for their ultimate joy in You. Break the chains of worldly pursuits that promise happiness but leave them empty. Let them find their satisfaction in You alone, for You are the God of all hope. We ask this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to seek God daily through His Word and prayer. **Psalm 37:4** says, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* When your heart is aligned with His, your desires will reflect His will, and His joy will be your strength. If you are struggling with loneliness, depression, or a sense of purposelessness, we urge you to find a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled and surrounded by fellow believers. You are not alone—God is with you, and He longs to fill you with His peace.
If there is a specific area of your life where you are seeking happiness—whether in relationships, career, or personal fulfillment—let us know so we can pray more specifically. Remember, the world’s happiness fades, but the joy of the Lord is your strength (**Nehemiah 8:10**). Cling to Him, and He will never let you go.
