God Bless My Child with Joy

Father, I want my son to always rest in Your presence where there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11).

There will be times of stress, doubt, sadness, and anger; but above all circumstance, may joy reign supreme in his life.

May he sense Your peace when He puts his faith in You.

Remind him, Christ-like qualities—love, joy, peace, long suffering, goodness, meekness, and faith (Ephesians 5:9) are our reward and strength.  There is no limitation on the harvest they bring.

Set in motion a joyful disposition, a true heart-felt contentment even in difficult times. 
Help him to overcome each situation with Your tangible joy, which you have made available for each of us.  Grant him a seat in Your presence where there is fullness, completeness, and perfect rest.

The joy of the Lord is his strength (Nehemiah 8:10).   I ask that he be strong and that he will triumph beyond that which desires to remove his joy.

I exalt you, Lord, as the Maker and giver of our joy.   You know how to fill us so completely.

In the Name of Jesus---Amen
