Gracious God, fill my heart with the joy
that comes from knowing You.
When life feels heavy, remind me that true joy
is found in Your presence, not in passing things.
Let my gratitude overflow and my spirit
be renewed in praise.
May others see Your joy shining through me
and be drawn to Your love.
Keep me steadfast in hope and radiant in faith.
Through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
— By a Columban Missionary
