LITANY OF JOY
From my need to be in control… deliver me, Jesus.
From the distorted view of what will make me happy…
From disappointment and discouragement in the weakness of others…
From disappointment and discouragement in my own weakness…
From letting the evil one control my reactions throughout my day…
From the lie that You are far from me…
From the moments when I place my identity in someone or something else…
From my fear of discomfort and suffering…
From the lie that I am not enough…
From the lie that You are not enough and cannot fulfill the longings of my heart…

In the times I am feeling the weight of the Cross… Jesus, come be my joy.
In times of confusion…
When I am afraid…
In the times I feel overwhelmed…
In the times when I feel Your peace…
In times of friendship and community…
In times of misunderstanding and hurt…
When I am jealous…
When I am angry…
When I want to give up…
When I am fighting temptation…
In times of planning and work…
In times when I am tired…
In times of doubt…
When I cannot see the future ahead of me…
At all times, seasons, and moments in my life…
Amen.
