WE NEED PEACE JOY AND HAPPINESS WITHIN OURSELVES

Peace, joy, and happiness, is what most people search for and these things do not depend on our circumstances or where we are on the social ladder. True peace, joy, and happiness comes from living in God's presence. So no matter where we are on the social ladder or our circumstances if we are there without God, we are unprotected, confused, and empty, no matter how many people we have around us.

James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.


Father, let us not mistake laughter as joy or good times for happiness.  Lord, keep us close to You, so we will have peace and joy even in the most difficult situations. Father, we lay all our worries, fears, and doubt at the Altar, so we will be free to experience the joy, peace, and happiness of Your presence. Lord, let Your Spirit flow in us continually, because our need for You, is as constant as the outflow of Your grace. So, Lord, lift those that are hurting and sooth their pain. Let our desires for the things of the Spirit, multiply so we will find fulfillment in You, which gives us peace. Father, help us appreciate the difficulty that challenge us and helps us grow in wisdom, knowledge, and grace. Thank You, for forgiveness, In Jesus name Amen
