DECEMBER 15, Joy of His Presence
Adoration & Worship
You are good, Lord, and your steadfast love endures forever. You’ve opened the gate of righteousness to us through Jesus. You are our salvation. Others have rejected you, but we build our lives on you. All this, from creation to your birth, your death, your resurrection, and your coming, Lord, is your doing. This is your day, these are your days, we rejoice in them and are glad. Psalm 118:1, 19-24
Repentance & Confession
You, Jesus, are able to keep me from stumbling. I need you. In your joy, your great joy, you present me blameless before the glory of the Father. You alone are savior, be glory and majesty, now and forever. Jude 1:24
Petition (asking for personal needs)
Make known to me the path of life. In your presence, there is fullness of joy, and I need joy. At your right hand are pleasures forevermore, so I’m sitting with you, it’s where I belong. You make me glad with the joy of your presence. Psalm 16:11, Psalm 21:6, Acts 2:28
Intercession (praying for others)
That we, your church, would know the joyful shout! Happy are the people who walk in the light of your presence. Psalm 89:16
Thanksgiving
You have turned our mourning into dancing, and in the place of grave clothes, you have dressed us in gladness. Why? So that our glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord our God, we will give thanks to you forever! Psalm 30:11-12
