Need prayer for joy

[Dave Darling]

Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate your prayers- I need joy! I do not have joy, I have never had it, I had it for about 5 minutes right after I got saved and then it left, it has never been back since. There must be a very good reason why I do not have it, I have been seeking God as to why but no reply thus far. The bible says the joy of the Lord is your strength and I lack strength! I do not have the peace of God either. Please pray for joy! Thank you!

Father God, I pray for @Dave Darling
Please give Him joy and strength that coming from You. I pray that he will seek You and find You, bring him to a community of believers so he can experience Your love and care through our brothers and sisters in faith.

Dear Lord,
I pray for insight for Dave, that you would be able to bring him around to the point where he can feel joy again.
In Christ's Name,
Amen

This is odd- I was at the healing meeting at one church I frequent the other night and I got pray for joy, they prayed for me and instantly I felt something well up inside of me, I think it was joy, however I did not feel good at all, in fact I felt terrible! This has happened several times now, where I experienced joy but felt terrible! There is something wrong! Twice in my life I experienced joy but felt good, fantastic, but that was it, other than that I do not feel good at all. It is a mystery why this is happening!

Dear Lord,
I thank you for answering my prayer, please continue to help Dave with this.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen

I don't know if this will resonate or encourage you or not, but if you're up for watching a home sermon about "Finding a Confident Joy", here's an excellent one I've found and saved:

Father God,

Fill Dave with your abundant joy and take away all his worries.

In the name of Christ, I pray.

Amen!
