Intercessory Prayer for Joy
Wonderful Father, I intercede for those who need joy and happiness in their lives. I pray that You would fill them with Your joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, overflowing from Your presence and Your salvation.
Lord, be their joy and their crown, their delight and their reward. May they rejoice always in You, giving thanks in all circumstances. May they sing to You a new song, praising You with gladness and gratitude. May they experience Your joy as their strength and their shield. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
This prayer is based on 1 Peter 1:8-9, which says that though we have not seen Him (Jesus), we love Him; though we do not now see Him, we believe in Him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory; obtaining the outcome of our faith, the salvation of our souls.
Smitten With Goodness 
Joy overflows from the presence of God and his salvation. Just like John the Baptist leapt for joy in his mother‘s womb, we can leave for joy when we encounter Christ.
