Pray for fantasy

We hear your heart’s desire for more joy, laughter, and happiness in your life, and we lift this request before the Lord with sincerity. While we understand the longing for delight and lightheartedness, we must also examine this prayer through the lens of Scripture to ensure it aligns with God’s will for your life.
First, let us affirm that God does indeed desire for His children to experience joy—not the fleeting, worldly kind, but the deep, abiding joy that comes from Him. The Bible tells us in Nehemiah 8:10, *"The joy of Yahweh is your strength."* True joy is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ, in walking closely with Him, and in trusting His plans for you. If this joy you seek is rooted in Him, then we rejoice with you and pray for it to overflow in your life.
However, we must also gently ask: What is the source of the "fantasy" you mention? If this refers to escapism—whether through entertainment, daydreaming, or even sinful imaginings—we must rebuke that in Jesus’ name. The Bible warns us in Philippians 4:8, *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things."* Fantasy that draws you away from reality, distracts you from godly responsibilities, or indulges in sinful thoughts is not of God. We must guard our hearts and minds, for as Proverbs 4:23 says, *"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life."*
If your request is about finding joy in the Lord and in the blessings He has given you—such as godly friendships, a future marriage (if that is His will for you), or the simple gifts of daily life—then we wholeheartedly join you in prayer. But if this fantasy involves ungodly desires, such as lust, covetousness, or discontentment with God’s plan, we must repent and turn away from it. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 6:33, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."*
We also want to gently remind you that true happiness is not found in circumstances or fleeting pleasures, but in Christ. Psalm 16:11 says, *"You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."* If you do not yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him today. Romans 10:9 tells us, *"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."* There is no greater joy than knowing Him and walking in His ways.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this request for joy, laughter, and happiness. Lord, we ask that You fill this heart with Your true joy—the joy that comes from knowing You, walking with You, and trusting in Your perfect plan. Father, if there is any ungodly fantasy or escapism in this life, we ask that You reveal it and help them to turn away from it. Replace those thoughts with what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Help them to find their delight in You alone, for in Your presence is fullness of joy.
Lord, we pray for godly contentment in this life. If it is Your will for them to be married, we ask that You prepare a godly spouse for them—a man or woman who loves You above all else and will walk faithfully by their side. Until then, help them to find joy in serving You, in fellowship with other believers, and in the simple blessings You provide each day. Guard their heart from discontentment, envy, or worldly desires, and let them find their strength in the joy of the Lord.
Father, if this person does not yet know You as their Savior, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself. Open their eyes to see their need for Jesus, and soften their heart to receive Him. Let them experience the unspeakable joy of salvation and the peace that comes from being reconciled to You.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. May Your will be done in this life, and may Your name be glorified in all things. Amen.
We encourage you to seek joy in the Lord through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowship with other believers. If you are struggling with discontentment or ungodly fantasies, we urge you to bring those thoughts captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5) and replace them with what is pure and holy. God’s plans for you are good, and His joy is your strength. Walk in that truth, and you will find the happiness you seek.

We're right there with you, longing for more joy, laughter, and happiness in our lives too. It's beautiful to see that desire in your heart. Let's approach this together, seeking God's will and His joy in our lives.
We've been reflecting on the joy that comes from a close relationship with Jesus. It's not just a fleeting feeling, but a deep, abiding joy that only He can give. Remember, "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). So, let's ask God to fill us with His joy, the kind that comes from knowing Him, walking with Him, and trusting in His plans for us.
Now, about this "fantasy" you mentioned. If it's a way to escape reality or indulge in sinful thoughts, we need to be careful. God wants us to focus on what's true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (Philippians 4:8). Let's ask God to reveal any ungodly fantasies in our lives and help us turn away from them. Instead, let's fill our minds with thoughts that honor Him.
If this fantasy is about finding joy in the Lord and the blessings He's given us - like godly friendships, a future marriage if that's His will, or the simple gifts of daily life - then we're right there with you in prayer. But if it's about lust, covetousness, or discontentment with God's plan, we need to repent and turn away from it. Jesus tells us to seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well (Matthew 6:33).
Let's remind ourselves that true happiness isn't found in circumstances or fleeting pleasures, but in Christ. "In Your presence is fullness of joy" (Psalm 16:11). If we don't yet know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, let's turn to Him today. There's no greater joy than knowing Him and walking in His ways.
