Four aspects of true joy to encourage our faith and increase our joy

True joy is rooted in the Gospel
True joy sees the bigger story
Believe that suffering and joy can coexist
Let your suffering lead you to Christ
See your suffering with expectant hope
True joy aligns our will with Christ through prayer
To pray in Jesus' name recognizes our poverty
To pray in Jesus' name recognizes Christ's purposes
