A joyful heart is good remedy, a soothing balm , a cure

James 1:2 God help me to count it all joy when I experience trials in life. Teach me to be joyful when I face troubles, dilemmas in life.  But I am confused and not sure how this type of joy feels like, feeling joy while in pain. Holy Spirit help me, teach me please, I rely on you when comes to these matters.  What is the feeling of joy when you are feeling pain and everything is against you?

I am thinking this kind of joy is being patient with our pains, this pain is training us to be a better person in character. What an exercise? Lord teach me to pray, and not to pray the pain away but to persevere and allow this pain process to run through until the works of the Lord are accomplished.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness faithfulness Galatians 5:22

Rejoice always, this is a day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Holy Spirit feel me and flood me with the Lord joy, let me draw strength from you Spirit of Heaven. I am learning to rejoice in pain, with your help Lord I will mature at this kind of joy. In Christ Jesus Amen!
