• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I am Sherry, Maggie, and it's time right now for
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: us to go to God in prayer. And this morning
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about having joy in spite of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: your circumstances, that unspeakable joy that God promises in his word.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: before you today with hearts that may be heavy, with
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: minds weighed down by the circumstances that we cannot control.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: But Lord, we choose to lift our eyes to you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: You are the offer, You are the finisher of our faith.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Your word declares that the joy of the Lord is
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: our strength. Father. Today we stand on that promise, even
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: when life presses us on every side. We believe that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: your joy is greater than our sorrow. Your peace is
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: deeper than our confusion. Your light is brighter than our
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: darkest hour. Lord, we ask you to stir up joy
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on the inside of us. Not a joy based on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: what we see, not a joy based on what we feel,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but a joy rooted and who you are. For you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: are unchanging, You are faithful, and you are good when
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: bills pile up, when relationships feel strained, when our bodies
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: feel weak, and when doors sing close remind us that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: your spirit within us carries rivers of living water that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: never run dry. Remind us that joy is not the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: absence of problems, but the presence of Jesus walking with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: us through every valley. Father, help us to laugh again,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Help us God to sing again. Help us God to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: rejoice again. Not because life is easy, but because You,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: God are worthy. Teach us to rejoice in hope, to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: be patient and affliction, and to remain faithful in prayer.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Let our joy be a testimony to those around us
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that even in hardship, your children can shine with the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: light of Christ. God. We release worry, we release fear,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: We release discouragement into your hands right now, replace them
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: God with joy that strengthens, joy that uplifts, joy that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: carries us forward. Let our hearts declare like the sum
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: as this is a day that the Lord has made.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: We will rejoice and be glad in it. We thank
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you in advance for your supernatural joy that cannot be
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: stolen by circumstance, joy that rises above storms, and joy
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that points us back to your unfelling love. Lord. We
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: give you glory. Lord, we give you honor, and we
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: give you praise in Jesus' name ay Man, Amen. Amen,
