God,
Sometimes it feels like joy is just out of reach, hidden beneath the weight of everyday life. I long for those moments that light up my spirit and make my heart dance. Help me to see the beauty in the little things, to find joy in unexpected places, and to share that joy with others. Remind me that it’s okay to let laughter spill over, to embrace the simple pleasures, and to celebrate life, even in its messiness. Fill my heart with a sense of gratitude and wonder, and help me to stay open to the joy that surrounds me.
Amen.
