Inviting The Joy Of The Lord
Lord, I pray that (name of child) be given the gift of joy. Let the spirit of joy rise up in her (his) heart this day and may she (he) know the fullness of joy that is found only in Your presence. Help her (him) to understand that true happiness and joy are found only in You. Whenever she (he) is overtaken by negative emotions, surround her (him) with Your love. Teach her (him) to say, This is the day that the LORD has made, [1] will re- joice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). Deliver her (him) from despair, depression, loneliness, discouragement, anger, or rejection. May these negative attitudes have no place in (name of child), nor be a lasting part of her (his) life.
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. JOHN 15:10-11
Lord I pray that You would plant Your Word firmly in (name of child). Etch it permanently on her (his) heart and increase her (his) faith daily. I know, Lord, that any negative emotions this child feels are lies, contrary to the truth of Your Word. You have made her (him) to de- light in You and not be anxious about anything. May she (he) decide in her (his) heart, My soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in His salvation (Palm 35:9). I pray that You, the God of hope, will fill her (him) with joy and peace so that she (he) may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). Enable her (him) to abide in Your love and derive strength from the joy of knowing You this day and forever.
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. PSALM 16:11
William Ford, Jr. attended the event.
