Reflection

“Joy is not the absence of sadness or the presence of the spectacular.  It’s the undercurrent of understanding God’s goodness in every season.” – Tauren Wells

Prayer

Joyful God,

We often equate joy with a positive feeling or exterior happiness, when in reality it is far deeper than either of those can contain. Joy lies deep within our souls, and we often miss it if we focus too much on the exterior emotions. Guide us to experience that undercurrent of understanding that comes with your goodness each day, that we might experience true joy and share it with others.  Amen.

Call to Action

Take five minutes today and allow the silence to guide me to true joy.
