Return to Me the Joy of Thy Salvation

The Psalmist asked the Lord to “return to me the joy of Thy salvation.” I don’t remember exactly where this is in Psalms but I know it’s there. I have realized lately that every single time I pray this little prayer, God is faithful. He showers me with such love and joy. It just makes me want to raise my hands, dance and sing! (And I am Baptist!:) ***smile***

Now before somebody gets the wrong idea and says something like: “It’s not all about feelings, it’s about faith.” I would like to say: Yes, you are exactly right! But sometimes we, as humans need to feel God’s love just to take us higher in our walk with Him. It confirms to us just how faithful our God is. And I believe if we stay in His will, He is gracious and will never deny us. God is good to His children, all the time, no matter the circumstances of everyday life. I truly believe He will honor this prayer every time. He has so far for me! It is a beautiful experience to go back to that original overwhelming joy that just bubbles up inside you until you cannot hold it in. You just gotta tell somebody!

Try praying this prayer and see what happens. But get ready - you are going to have to start witnessing about His love!

Lord, return unto me the joy
Thy salvation did first bring
Shine Your Holy light upon me
Make my spirit to sing!

I am walking in Your mercy.
I am kept by Your grace.
I pray for Your Holy Spirit
To shine upon my face.

I praise Your name so Holy
My faith is all I need
My Jesus, resurrected!
My soul has been made free…
