We need your joy to infuse purpose in the struggles we face. We need joy to invigorate our souls and bring light into the lives you have given us. Open our eyes to the ways you are showing up to meet us in the midst of all the chaos. Open up the chance for us to be joy bringers to others in our lives, showing them grace in their night season, too. If you are willing, God lift from us the darkness we are facing. Bring healing to our minds, bodies, and souls. Provide the faith we need to know that you are good and with us even when we don’t feel you near. Bring back our joy with a double portion! Let us give you all the glory for everything you have done for us in each and every season of our lives. Amen.  Video by Skylar Cochran Thumbnail & Stock footage courtesy of Canva.com
