Many years ago when my llife was filled with sorrow, I would find every verse I could on joy and put my name in it and read  them until joy was manifest. Now the joy is always there. The more of the Word you get inside, the more it pushes out anything that is not of God.

Psalm 5:11
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

Psalm 27:6
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

Some years ago the Holy Spirit gave me  Nehemiah 8:10..... for the joy of the LORD is your strength. I heard it in my spirit and He instructed me to go tell it to a friend of mine, I did'nt know why ,but I did thankfully. A week or so later her husband died and she  thanked me for giving her the Word of the Lord for her . The Word really ministered to her and gave her strength in that situation. It was if the Lord had prepared her with this Word ahead of time and she was so thankful.
