Deep joy brings strength. Strength to take the next step, to move ahead when you want to go back, to get the treatment, to make the break, to make the change, to figure it out. God’s joy is soul-deep. Most of us live on the surface. You hear it in our conversations.

      God allows us to go deep. God loves the deep things of life. The true spiritual life runs into the darkest corners, the deepest hurts, and the healing begins.

The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. Proverbs 20:5

Jesus,

We pray to have eyes to see into the deep issues of life, to draw others into complete healing from You. Help us to help others to jump into deep waters without fear.

Amen
