We can have joy because of Jesus.

“A cheerful heart makes you healthy. But a broken spirit dries you up.”

Proverbs 17:22, NIrV

Engagement Questions

• Who can cheer you up on a bad day?
• What is something you can celebrate today?
• What are ways you remember that we can have joy because of Jesus?

Prayer

“Dear God, thank You for rescuing us. Thank You that Jesus will always be with us in any trouble or mess. Thank You for the gift of joy from Your Spirit. Help us to remember to celebrate and have joy because of all of the times Jesus will rescue us and for all of the amazing things You are doing in the world around us. We love You and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
