Lord, help me choose joy.
Lord, help me choose joy, not just wait to feel it but actively decide to pursue it, cultivate it, hold onto it even when circumstances don't inspire happiness.
Joy feels impossible when life is hard, when I'm discouraged, when everything seems to be going wrong, but I'm learning joy is a choice, not just an emotion.
Teach me that choosing joy doesn't mean pretending everything is fine or denying real pain, but deciding to find reasons for gratitude despite what's difficult.
Joy isn't the same as happiness that comes and goes with circumstances, but a deeper contentment rooted in You, in Your faithfulness, in what remains true regardless of what I'm facing.
Help me look for joy intentionally, to notice small blessings, to celebrate what's going right, to focus on what's good instead of fixating only on what's wrong.
Remind me that the joy of the Lord is my strength, that choosing joy isn't superficial positivity but spiritual discipline that changes my perspective and sustains me.
Give me the will to choose joy today even when I don't feel it, trusting that the choosing itself can shift my heart, that obedience often comes before emotion.
Let me practice choosing joy, training my heart to look for reasons to be grateful, to celebrate, to hope, knowing that joy chosen becomes joy experienced.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
FAQs
What sizes are available?
At the moment I'm only offering 8 x 10 inch prints. If you want larger or smaller sizes let me know and if there's enough demand I'll look into adding them!
What paper are the prints made on?
All my prints are printed on Hahnemühle German etching paper. It's a heavy-duty fine art paper with a slightly more textured finish that I think suits them well.

At the moment I only offer prints and not canvases. If you're interested in printing on canvas get in touch and I'll look into offering it.
Do the prints come framed?
Not at the moment. All my prints come in standard 8 x 10 inch size which is a very common size for frames so you won't have trouble finding the frame you want.
