I wish I could say that I am hopeful all the time…that’s just not where I am at right now…
I know what joy is…but at times it’s hard for me to be joyful…
There are times this life that are hard…sometimes that tries to steal my hope…
There are some days I try to combat the lies…other days it’s tough to fight…
I know no one can steal my joy…because I belong to Jesus…
I know that I am a child of the king…help me Lord to see you in everything…
When the days get hard…teach me how to be joyful…
I know who You say I am…teach me to believe it all the time…
I know times are tough…I know there will be trials…
I know there are circumstances that are less than ideal…and the thief tries to steal my joy…
In my weakness and my crying out…fill me with truth that You are right there with me…
I don’t know how to handle everything that comes my way…but I know the one who does…
Teach me to turn to you when times get tough…not turn to the world for answers…
I don’t know why things happen…but I know that allow them to shape me…
It’s hard to see when your vision is cloudy…when you feel the sun will never come out…
