The word "Joy" is mentioned many times in the Bible but, I don't think many of us pay attention to what it really means. The definition of joy is "a feeling of great happiness and rejoicing." I think all humans find themselves struggling with joy and happiness. Sometimes the ability to look on the positive side of things rather than constantly focusing on the negative is hard to do. So, why is it so hard to be joyful? Living in a world with worry, doubt, fear, anxiety, depression, and hurt can cause a constant voice of negativity in our mind. The enemy, Satan, finds us as a threat to his kingdom, a threat that must be stopped. And a good way to stop that threat is to take away it's joy. This is why we must remind him that he has already lost and we have SO much to be joyful for! This book is written for the worriers of the world. If you find yourself always thinking about negative things than positive, this book is to encourage you and help you focus on the true joy of life. "For the joy of the Lord is in your heart" Nehemiah 8:10
