00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:10.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Take several deep breaths to let your mind and body know that we are going to focus on God for a moment.

00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:16.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Quietly say out loud, God, I want to talk to you today.

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:23.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Psalm 5112 says, Restore to me the joy of your salvation.

00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:31.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Joy can fade under the weight of hardship or discouragement, but God restores joy gently, patiently and completely.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Picture God gently restoring parts of your life that you felt were lost.

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:41.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Take 15 seconds to thank God that restoration is always possible.

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Joy can be renewed even after loss or weariness.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Now let's go to God for help.

00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:06.000
<v SPEAKER_00>His word shows us that he is our helper in time of need.

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Say that out loud.

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.400
<v SPEAKER_00>God, I believe that you're here to help me today.

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.040
<v SPEAKER_00>Take several moments and tell God where your joy has been depleted.

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:20.799
<v SPEAKER_00>What has caused it?

00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask him to restore joy and refresh your spirit.

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.120
<v SPEAKER_00>A room lit up perfectly in every corner of darkness, vanished.

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask God to restore joy in their life.

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:18.080
<v SPEAKER_00>If you can, say their name out loud as you pray for them.

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.080
<v SPEAKER_00>I am made new in your image and love today.

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:57.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
