A Simple Rule: 40-Day Prayer JourneySample

Rejoice always

Lord, please awaken me to Your presence today. I rejoice in You.

David knows that God is a joyful being. Here’s one way to think about it: ‘To enter or awaken to God’s presence is to enjoy a bracing jolt of invigorating delight… The scandalous truth – known by mystics throughout history and affirmed in the pages of our sacred texts – is that when we connect with God, it is as if we are plugging our souls into a pure current of high-voltage joy.’ (Brian McClaren, Naked Spirituality)
