1st 8th 15th 22nd 29th Monday Scripture Prayer

"“Then Ezra priest and scribe said to all the people, “This day is sacred to the Lord your God.  Do not be mournful, do not weep”. For the people were all in tears as they listened to the words of the law.  He then said, “Go, eat the fat, and drink the sweet wine, and send a portion to the man who has nothing prepared ready.”  For at this day is sacred to Lord.  Do not be sad: the joy of the Lord is your stronghold.”  Nehemiah 8/9-10

Lord, with you, there is joy.
