I had a question- do you think it is possible for something we have gone through in our past to prevent us from having joy? I have never had joy, I had it for 5 minutes right after I got saved and then it left and I have never had it again, there must be a very good reason why I do not have it. I thought God told me that I could not help it, that I needed to be healed first from some things that happened to me in the past before I came to Christ but I am not positive it was God speaking, If this is not the case I need to repent of something, but I have already tried everything I could think of and nothing works, I can't seem to have joy. I do not have peace either, I have never had that either. Thanks
