WEEK 4 | JOY
DECEMBER 23 — JOY IN TRIALS
Read: James 1:2–4
Joy isn’t only found within easy moments — it grows through challenges. When we face trials, God is shaping us into people who faithfully endure in following Him.
Consider
What does it mean to “count it all joy” instead of complaining or giving up?
How have you seen God use tough times to grow your faith and produce joy?
How can you remind your friends and family that joy is still possible in the middle of hard days?
Pray
Lord, help us find joy even in our most difficult moments. Produce stronger faith and dependence on you every day. Teach us to see You at work in every part of our story. In Jesus’ name, amen.
