Prayer And The Fullness Of Joy

Prayer And The Fullness Of Joy

In John 16:24, Jesus spoke this powerful truth to His disciples: “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” What fascinates me about this statement is how answers to prayer and joy are interwoven. Furthermore, if God offers us the means not only to joy—but its full measure—then we should certainly take Him up on it. That fact is that when we pray, possibilities far beyond our theological comprehension begin to open. Dear friend, if you find yourself lacking peace, or experiencing anxiety about life circumstances, turn to the Lord in prayer today. Who knows? He may answer today, and with it give us the much needed joy of the Lord. Now that’s something to pray about!
