The act of saying “yes” to Jesus causes the “fruit of the Spirit” to come through us! And the second fruit we are focusing on is JOY. As we hold onto God we can have gladness that overflows into our friends, family, and the world. 
Challenge: Let’s pray that this week we would pursue the Joy of the Lord even when life gets tough. Let’s pray that that Joy would overflow out of us so that we can impact the people around us for the sake of the Gospel.
Let’s also pray for the students who will be sharing about JOY in their schools during the month two HOPE cycle.
I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my Joy. Yes, your joy will overflow -John 15:11
