God,
I’m really craving more joy in my life. Sometimes it feels like I get caught up in the heaviness around me, and I forget to celebrate the little moments that bring a smile. Help me to notice the beauty in everyday things—the laughter of friends, the warmth of the sun, the taste of my favorite meal. Teach me to hold onto joy even when life feels overwhelming. I want to spread that joy to others too, to be a light in moments of darkness. Remind me that it’s okay to seek happiness and to embrace the good things you’ve created. Your presence makes all the difference.
Amen.
