Word of God clearly says in NEHEMIAH 8: 10 - do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Most of who are in prayers get confused regarding Joy because we think joy and happiness is one and the same.
But the truth is both are different one comes from our soul and the other comes from our Spirit.
Happiness in our life depends on every situation coming our way, if the situation is favourable for us we will be happy and if the situation is unfavourable for us we immediately become sad.
Joy doesn't change according to the situation we face in the world because foundation of our joy is word of God.
If we live according to this pattern we can be sure of being joyful always.
J - Jesus first
O - Others next
Y - Yourself last.
In this selfish and corrupt world people who give Jesus first priority, others next priority and for themselves last priority are very few in number.
We can find the people giving themselves first priority when we see them flocking in novenas and retreats, by doing this they will have joy for few days after that again they are going to be happy or sad.
Let us be joyful always no matter what situation we are facing in our life. By being joyful we can live in peace and when we live with peace devil cannot come close to us.
