Dear Heavenly FATHER,
Please fill me with Your divine joy today. I want to experience more than just temporary happiness- happiness that always depends on whether life is on an upswing. Even the pleasure of graduating will fade with time. I want to know the deeper joy that comes from a close, long-lasting relationship with You.
Only when my life is anchored in Your love will my joy endure regardless of the circumstances. And that’s the kind of joy I want- steady and enduring. When Your joy is reflected in my life, I’ll have something to offer others. A smile on a dreary day. A word of encouragement. A song when the storm is raging. Thank YOU, LORD, for a heart full of divine joy.
In JESUS name, Amen.
God will give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair. Isaiah 61:3

Its a long process with paypal now jing. It was simple with moneybookers then, but with paypal today we have to log a credit card number to be verified.

Hi jingbautista!
What a beautiful prayer this was indeed. Praying for a priceless joy that comes within, joy that could never be counted or quantified with any material things that comes into our life.
I just want to quote some words in this prayer that have touched me so much, "Only when my life is anchored in Your love will my joy endure regardless of the circumstances". I would say that TRUE JOY could only be found in Jesus!

thank you my friend. indeed, this prayer is a prayer for joy. everyday is a struggle against beating my self for the glory of the Lord. it is not easy though, staying calm and at peace with everyone, sacrificing your or my own self. somehow, i wanted to feel that joy, joy that knows no bounds. i am a failure most of the times and there are times that others are not really blessed by my doing.. huhu.. and i hope to have joy still. to be anchored into God's will will i have joy.. thanks
