my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him. — Psalm 28:7

Joy is a word that does not apply to so many lives. But God wants us to be filled with joy. Psalm 100 tells us to “Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs” (v.2). How can we get joy back into our lives and a song into our hearts?
