First principle

Joy

Spirit fruit: joy.

This hour

Under fire

The next right hold — walk this hour.

  • Joy that dies with the outcome was never rooted in God.
  • Speak one true thing about God that does not depend on them.
  • Grief is allowed. Bitterness as identity is not.

Prayer

When you do not have the words.

  • Lord, restore Your joy. Be my strength. Amen.

Truth

When you can read deeper — Scripture-rooted steel.

The fruit of the Spirit is joy.

Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
