Have you ever desperately wondered: “Where did my joy go? And how do I get it back?” If yes, you’re in good company, friend.

Today's prayer of REST is based on Psalm 34:5, which teaches us that God's delight transforms us: "Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces."

This season, we’re asking God to restore to us the joy of our salvation, and each week we’ll base our prayers on a different Bible passage that speaks of joy. Together, we’ll ask the Lord to do a new work in our hearts as we: 

• Recite God’s Goodness
• Express Our Neediness
• Seek His Stillness, and 
• Trust His Faithfulness

Throughout these guided prayers episodes and their weekly corresponding “Behind-the-Scenes Conversations” with Asheritah and Hannah, you’ll discover God’s promise of delight to His children and learn how to claim His joy as your birthright—the promised fruit from God’s Spirit as we invite Him to do His good work in us. We're excited to see how God will move in response to our prayers!

This season of Praying for Joy is based on my brand new book – Delighting in Jesus: Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out, which releases December 3 and available wherever books are sold. (Amazon preorders guarantee the lowest price and helps more people discover the book too! Thanks for your support: https://amzn.to/3Zb5HAi) 

Until we meet again, may you find much joy in Jesus, the One who delights in you! 

💛 Asheritah
