We had a three hour prayer event at JBC tonight. Started with a potluck and then about a hundred of us prayed together for the Christmas drama. Sitting here in my chair tonight thinking about the evening I recognized that as I sat here I had a very high sense of joy in my heart. Just a very happy feeling that seemed at first thought to exist for no apparent reason. As I reflected about it I knew that the reason for my “happy heart” was the prayer meeting. Prayer meetings aren’t typically  what you call fun, but I left very “up”. In Psalms 19 it says that in the “presence of the Lord is fullness of joy”. I truly believe that our prayer time was blessed by the manifest presence of the Lord, and that my spirit sensed His presence and the result was joy. I think I will do that again.
