 Lord, we thank you for the provision of your joy, Lord, that that joy gives us strength. It provides us strength. It provides us hope. It provides us an outlook, Lord God, in the midst of the trouble and the pain, Lord. Your joy provides us a vision and a view above what's going on in our lives, what's going on around us, Lord. Would you help us find that place, Lord God? Would you help us today, Lord God, as well?
