Restore Your Joy

Do you have joy in your life? Believe that it's God's will to fill you with joy. Ask God to search your heart, showing you the reason for losing your joy in life. He will. If sin needs to be confessed, God will certainly forgive you. His mercy provides forgiveness for all of our sins. Ask God to restore your joy. God wants you to have joy in life.

It's God's will for you to experience joy in life. That joy comes in relationship with God. It is a fruit of the Spirit of God working in you. When you lose your joy, it is often an indication that something has happened in your relationship with God.

Joy also comes in relationships with other people. That includes family, as well as the family of God. Sometime family relationships need to be restored. Your church family should be a source of joy. God made us to be in fellowship with Him and one another.

One thing is for sure, God is able to restore your joy. It comes through a relationship with Him that the Bible calls salvation. The word salvation means deliverance. God is able to deliver you from anything that robs you of joy. Certainly God knows what has robbed you of joy. Ask Him to work in your life to restore your joy. He can. He will.

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, 
and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me." 

Psalm 51:12
