记得喜乐并不依赖你所处的环境。世界上一些最痛苦的人所处的环境，可能是最令人羡慕的。一些达到事业巅峰的人，却惊奇地发现此时的他们却是空虚的。真正的喜乐，只有活在我的里面才能获得。因此，你可以在皇宫中经历到，可以在监狱中经历到，可以在任何的地方经历到真正的喜乐。
REMEMBER THAT JOY is not dependent on your circumstances. Some of the world's most miserable people are those whose circumstances seem the most enviable. People who reach the top of the ladder career-wise are often surprised to find emptiness awaiting them. True Joy is a by-product of living in My Presence. Therefore you can experience it in palaces, in prisons...anywhere.
不要仅仅因为某一天中出现很多困难，就认为这一天是不能有喜乐的。相反的，将焦点放在和我的相交上。当你的注意力不在某些问题上时，问题可能就不再是问题了。而另外的需要你必须解决的问题，你也不必担心，因为我会帮助你来解决。如果你能将亲近我放在第一位，将解决问题放在次要位置上，那么即使在你最难的时候，你也会在我的里面寻得喜乐。
Do not judge a day as devoid of Joy just because it contains difficulties. Instead, concentrate on staying in communication with Me. Many of the problems that clamor for your attention will resolve themselves. Other matters you must deal with, but I will help you with them. If you make problem-solving secondary to the goal of living close to Me, you can find Joy even in your most difficult days.
经文：
哈：3:17-19：虽然无花果树不发旺，葡萄树不结果，橄榄树也不效力，田地不出粮食，圈中绝了羊，棚内也没有牛；然而，我要因耶和华欢欣，因救我的神喜乐。主耶和华是我的力量！他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄，又使我稳行在高处。
祷告：
神啊，让我能将亲近你放在我生命的首位，不要总是思虑如何将问题解决。让我能在你的里面寻得真正的喜乐，阿门！
