HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON THE SPIRIT

 If our happiness depends on our circumstances, what happens when the circumstances no longer exist. what happens when we're no longer physically in shape, what happens when our health starts to degenerate, what happens when we have no more money, what happens when the party's over. Often despair sets in and that false sense of happiness flees. The only way we can truly be happy is through peace, and we gain this peace through the assurance of God's love and work in our lives. And no matter what circumstances we are dealing with this type of peace, joy and happiness will never flee us.

"We pray that God, the source of hope, will fill us completely with joy and peace because we trust in Himi. Then we will overflow with confident and hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Lord, You, are the only source of true happiness, joy, and peace. All of the things we receive in our lives that gives us true happiness comes from the Spirit. Father, right now our hearts are heavy with all the innocent lives that have been take because of hate and racism. So, we ask You to intervene in the hate and destruction that is being incited by those that should be protecting us. Father, we pray for justice ⚖ to be served on those that are unjust, let them reap what they so, soon then later. Father, we pray for peace, the kind peace only You can give us. Lord, let us dwell in safety of Your hands, we put our trust in You; only You can keep us truly safe. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God," Lord, replace those in our government with hate and division in their hearts. Father, give us patience to stand on Your Word and be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let our requests be made known to You; and give us happiness and peace, which surpasses all understanding. Let Your will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Amen
