The Prayer that Rejoices the Heart
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

2 - Reflect
Faith is inseparable from joy and prayer. It is the only way to live in grace. Wherever we go, it is necessary to give testimony of faith, trust and joy. Of the certainty that we have a Father who watches over us and we live in the certainty that we will never be abandoned. He always listens to our prayers and understands our concerns.
Joy does not ignore problems, it accepts them and solves them, and asks for help from the one who is always watching over us. It does not mean that we do not go through difficulties, but we will not let them bring us down. A problem to which resignation is added is much more serious.
Prayer is our best refuge, and our best consolation. In those moments when we feel we are falling, we should take refuge there. God shows us the way and is always at our side.
To be grateful for our gifts and to ask for help when we need it. Get up every day with a smile and think of something to thank God for that day. And close our day in the same way: with gratitude, joy and prayer. This is the way to walk through life being a witness of our faith in the Lord our Father.
