Heavenly Father,

Lord, heal my heart from hidden sorrow, disappointment, and emotional wounds. Remove every weight of sadness, heaviness, and comparison that steals my joy. Fill me with a deep, authentic happiness that flows from Your presence.

Let my joy be rooted in truth, not circumstances. Teach me to delight in You and to find peace in Your promises. Where my heart has been restless, give me contentment. Where my soul has been weary, renew my joy.

Father, restore laughter to my life. Let gladness replace mourning and gratitude replace complaint. I receive joy unspeakable and full of glory. My happiness will not be temporary or shallow; it will be genuine, lasting, and deeply rooted in You.

Thank You, Lord, for making my heart glad and my spirit light. I choose joy. I walk in peace. I live genuinely happy.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

I declare that my joy is restored and overflowing.

I decree that sadness and heaviness have no hold on my heart.

I declare that my joy is rooted in God’s presence.

I decree that I live daily with gratitude, peace, and gladness.
