How Do I Live a Joyful Life? Being blessed to wake up is a joy. As I give thought to the layout of my day, framing my moves to what I will do next, I count it as joyful. Knowing sometimes what I will face at work and sometimes before I leave home, I quietly say thank you Lord for another day. I try to channel my thought toward positive things that will get me through the day. I have been blessed with good health and a spirit to help others. I feel that my life is joyful because I have a willing heart and a loving spirit to ease others pain or confusion because I have joy and my joy comes from having a relationship with God. To know you can cast you cares upon God is calming in the mist of life’s storms. Believing that God loves and cares about me in spite of your flaws and short comings gives me hope to keep going. The joy of knowing God is to rest in his peace. I live a joyful life by lying down my sword to face life’s struggles depending on Gods guidance. There is power in the name of God, being able to lean and depend on him; I count it all as a blessing.
