Joy: Advent Prayers 2023

Dear Lord, grant me the grace of joyfulness. Help me to be thankful for Your many blessings and to rejoice in every small victory. Let my heart overflow with gratitude, and may my life be a testament to the joy that comes from knowing You. In moments of trial, teach me to find solace in Your presence and to celebrate the joy that is found in Your love. Amen.
