Don’t let the
Troubles of life
Hinder the joy
That God has
Already begun
In you
In fact, embrace
Your troubles
And pray over
Each of them
Knowing that
They will
Produce in you a
More complete
Joy

Prayer A to Z 
This devotional was quite enjoyable! Nehemiah 8:10 is an old favorite, as is 1st Thessalonians 5:16. Philippians 4:4 is a favorite too. So is Luke 10:20 — a perspective on why we have enduring joy. The unsaved are always puzzled by our joy, especially as we override negative circumstances that they cannot — and the truth of Nehemiah 8:10 is something they suspect yet do not understand.
Thanks for those extra verses.
