joy finding

 Monday, June 1, 2026 (5:01 a.m.)

Thank You God.


I’m smiling. We’re off to a good start.


Mistakes have already been made. It’s Monday. Not Tuesday. And the first of another brand new month.


Father, thank You for joy finding. Yes!


Jesus taught that we are to ask and it will be given (Matthew 7:7a). Seek and we will find (7b). Knock and the door will be opened for us (7c)..


Thank You Father. The smile I have right now is real. Going deep into my heart. And soul. My mind and my strength are positively affected as well.

(5:39 a.m.)


I look to Your Word Lord. There’s one particular Proverb I’m seeking. Yet I’m finding many others that are close but not it.


Proverbs 16:24, 15:1, 15:4.


Thank You for the privilege of coming before You with every single part of our hearts. The hurts. And joy. Missteps. And successes.


Father, I love You. I need, trust and want You as the absolute authority over every aspect of my being.


There are hurts and fears out here in this world. Long-held misunderstandings. Early morning surgeries. And a graveside laying to rest of a very health challenged young woman. How I ask (Matthew 7:7) Your healing presence in them all.


The joy I find in the asking is Yours. Surrendering to Your will and Your way 


(6:02 a.m.)


Right in the midst of searching for Scriptures supporting my thoughts on surrender, You show Yourself to me yet again. Thank You Father.


♪There’s joy in the Hose of The Lord 

There’s joy in the house of the Lord today

And we won’t be quiet

We shout out Your praise♪


Yes Father! You are truly where we find joy. Your house (Psalm 122:1). Your gates (Psalm 100:4a). Your courts (v. 4b.). As I seek YOU, I find joy along the way.


Use me exactly as You alone know is best. Thanking, praising, glorifying, enJOYing, rejoicing and being glad (Psalm 118:24b). Do all You must.


“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105). I want to stand firmly upon It. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
