Restore to me the joy of your salvation

Psalms 51:12- Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

People give way to sexual sin because they don’t have the fullness of joy and gladness in Christ.

Because when that joy fades I click on pornography.
When that joy fades I start cruising the neighborhood.
When that joy fades I get an itch for another woman. When that joy fades,
on and on and on...

Every sin on the outside is symptomatic of the absence of this joy.

J.Piper

Prayer for everyday Christian warfare: Oh God, teach me to taste and embrace the joy and gladness in You.
