Graduating to the Joyful Discipline of Prayer
Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight.
I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
—Psalm 43:3–4
Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.
Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.
—Psalm 86:4–6
In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy.
—Philippians 1:4
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
—John 16:24
