Quick Question: How Do I Find Joy?Sample

Sometimes, after a long day, nothing feels better than just sitting with someone that you feel safe and comfortable around. God is someone who we can talk to all the time and be with whenever we want. The safest, most comfortable, most joyful place we can be is in God’s presence. If you spend time with God daily, that time with God will become one of the most joy-filled parts of your day- guaranteed. Sitting with God, hearing from Him, and talking to Him provides joy, peace, and comfort. King David in the Bible knew how valuable it was to spend time with God every day, and he wrote about how much joy and safety he felt in God’s presence. We are able to read King David’s words today and learn from Him- spending time with God each day is the best way to guarantee a feeling of pure joy each day.
