10 Uplifting Prayers for Happiness In Your Life

In this article, I will share 10 uplifting prayers for happiness that you can use in your alone time with the Lord in a prayer meeting.

I remember watching the movie The Pursuit of Happiness. Which is about determination, and never giving up, but in the end, their happiness came from success and money. The thing is money and success don’t always bring happiness.

Millionaires can deal with depression, and/or successful people feel lonely and sad. Outside circumstances don’t always determine what will make you happy. But I know someone that can bring you joy and happiness, even when everything looks like poop. His name is Jesus!

God is our source for peace, love, joy, and more. We just need to draw close to Him and trust Him. Prayer is one way we can draw closer to the Lord. So, if your battling your emotions and long to feel happy. I hope these happiness prayers will help. But before we dive in, let’s cover some important tips.

Tips for Using Prayers for Happiness

Like with all written prayers, it’s vital that we personalize them and make them specific. The Lord longs to hear from your heart. You can take these prayers and add or change them to your personal need. Here are some simple tips on how you can tweak these prayers for happiness.

• Add names, places, etc…
• Describe situations you feel you have lost joy/happiness in.
• Share how you are feeling emotionally.
• Spend time in worship and praise.

By following these simple tips, your prayer time will come from your heart, rather than a written prayer from a screen.
