I’ve had several prayer requests from readers after yesterday’s post. Will you stand in agreement that God will bring JOY to their situation. We don’t need names. God knows their name; we only need to pray for healing and restoration in their circumstances. We thank you ahead of time Jesus…..
My father sent this writing from a deep experience He had with Jesus and knowing Him has healer and comforter. Good morning readers – my sweet friends – I pray JOY for you today in all things. His Joy!
JOY IN THE MORNING
February 26, 2011 By Tom Lloyd (my father)
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN SHADOWS FORM
WITH TROUBLED MIND THEY TAKE AWAY OUR VIEW
WE SENSE THAT WE ARE ALONE
WE GROPE OUR WAY NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO
THEN SOMEONE PRAYS FOR OUR CARE
SOMEHOW THINGS START TO CHANGE WE SEE THE LIGHT
THERE’S JOY IN THE MORNING
WHEN OUR SAVIOUR HAS LED US THROUGH THE NIGHT
JOY COMES IN THE MORNING
WITH THE SUN SHINING BRIGHT
THE BURDENS OF EVENING
ALL NOW SEEM SO LIGHT
THERE’S JOY IN THE MORNING
WHEN HE LEADS THROUGH THE NIGHT
JESUS SAID ASK TO RECEIVE
HE BRINGS BLESSED PEACE TO A TROUBLED MIND
WE ARE TOLD TO BELIEVE
WHILE WAITING FOR HIS SWEET RELEASE TO FIND
THEN COMES BRIGHT DAWNING
AS JESUS STARTS TO USHER IN THE LIGHT
THERE’S JOY IN THE MORNING
WHEN OUR SAVIOUR HAS LED US THROUGH THE NIGHT
SEE LILLIES IN THE FIELD
HOW GOD CAUSES THEM TO SHINE AND TO GROW
MORE PRECIOUS THAN ARE WE
THAN SPARROWS OR LILLIES HE WANTS US TO KNOW
PAIN AND SORROW MAY COME
IT MAY CAUSE US TO STUMBLE AND LOSE SIGHT
THERE’S JOY IN THE MORNING
WHEN OUR SAVIOUR HAS LED US THROUGH THE NIGHT

Anna,
You truly don’t know how you have been a blessing by starting this spiritual blog. As I was reading this, I thought about how we all go through things in life and I know that all we can do is to lean on God and have faith. Thanks for being a blessing!

I just read this from someone: When we can’t smile by feelings we can smile by faith! YES Leaning on the everlasting arms! I pray you feel the Savior holding you this day and that His plan for you is evident with GREAT JOY!
