 DIVINE TOUCH OF JOY

"In Your presence there is fullness of Joy." Psalms 16:11

In our Bible, in 2 Corinthians 6:2, it bids us to come up higher, "Now is
the acceptable time.” Too many people put off joy for another day. Too
many people make excuses to delay their happiness for one reason or
another.

When something happens that affects you deeply, it is easy to become so
involved in such an event that everything else fades away. You live
completely in the moment you do not allow anything to distract you from
what you are seeing or feeling or doing.

At times you may forget to stay focused. Joy depends on your focus. You
may become distracted and forget to live every moment as if it were the
most important moment of your life. You can change this! You can make the
choice to live each moment to the fullest by letting go of the things that
you worried about in the past or have no personal control of in the
future. You can decide to be joyful.

This life is too short to not live it in the right way. The past is over
and the future will take care of itself. Right now, this present moment,
is where you are. Every moment spent in full awareness of joy of God is a
sacred time in which you can become more aware of God’s gift of life. The
more joyful you become the more aware of God's loving presence you are
around you and within you.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER: 

My dear joyful God, as I wake up this morning I pray that this is a day
where every moment is filled with sacred joy. I ask for Your touch that
connects me with my source of every gladness.

This moment I accept Your presence as the joy in my soul; I awaken to the
delight of spirit that words can't describe.

Your joy in my soul comforts me in times alone, or with friends and
family. I know that You always encircle me with love and caring. I am
joyful because I know that I never face anything alone.

Your touch of Joy gives me laughter and a good sense of humor to sense and
feel the lighter funny side of life.

Your joy in my soul heals me. The gladness of Your Spirit lives around me
and is living through me cleansing me of any condition that would work
against my health and vitality.

Dear Joyful God, I pray today for reasons to make me smile. 
You are the gladness of my whole being, and I am at peace and totally 
well in this sacred joyful time of my life. I pray to realize the joy of God.  

In Jesus Christ's name...Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: My joy knows no limits.

but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, 
you reach your destiny." Carl Schurz
