Joy during Advent Season

[Cheryl "The Earthly Angel"]

Joy is a gift, a gift from Jesus himself. The more we spread JOY the more we have a world that mirrors what God wants his world to like.


Three Tips to Discovering Joy During Advent As Well As Christmas

1. 
   Pray (Always the first answer!)
   
   
   Ask God for the particular grace to receive His gift of joy more actively and consciously in your daily life.
   
2. 
   Immerse yourself in good examples.
   
   
   Ask advice from, and surround yourself with, people who are visibly living in a true spirit of joy. You can glean wisdom from the lives of the saints or from family, friends, and mentors.
   
3. 
   Make small acts of love.
   
   
   The Catechism tells us that joy is one of the fruits of charity (CCC 1829). If the “lens” of joy is cleansed and sharpened by charity, then there is no better, more active way to seek out joy than by seeking out chances to love. (Don’t worry, I have great confidence that God won’t leave you with a lack of opportunities!)
   

PEACE!!!!       LOVE!!!!!!       and       JOY!!!!!    to each of you this season.

Prayer Focus For Life: God I ask You in Jesus name give me an overpowering desire to never stop growing in the knowledge and grace of Jesus Christ, growing in my love for You,  and growing ever so close to You in my relationship with You.  Bless me to always walk in the awareness and consciousness of Your love for me and that You are always with me.  I am never alone.  God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of this prayer, those I love and care about.  Thank You Jesus. Amen!

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

 

[JesusIsMyOnlyHope]

"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrew 4:16

Father, I boldly come to your throne of mercy with this child’s need. I ask in your mighty power to meet this child’s need. I pray that this child of yours may experience your great love and care for them today. Give them eyes to see your hand of mercy at work in their life. Awaken all their senses to the realization that you will never leave them or forsake them.

In Jesus Christ’s Name I pray,  that you will receive and answer your child's prayers according to your perfect will and timing. Amen
