help me with this truth Holy Spirit of God.


"Ask, and you shall receive, 
that your joy may be made full."
John 16:25b
"I enjoin (direct with authority) you thus to pray, 
that not only may you be delivered from all despondency and heart trouble, 
But that in the enjoyment of all heavenly and spiritual blessings and in the possession of all that is necessary and sufficient to secure the success of the great enterprise on which you are about to enter, you may be filled with
 holy happiness,
 heavenly joy ~ 
joy in the Holy Spirit."

"Rejoice evermore: Pray without ceasing."
I Thessalonians 5: 16,17
"The second is the means of securing the first.
 If we cease to pray, we are likely to cease to rejoice ~
 We must pray without ceasing that we may rejoice evermore.
And were we instead of being anxious, careful, troubled about many things,
 to be anxious about nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication,
make our requests known unto God,
with thanksgiving,
(Philippians 4:6)
assuredly,
the peace of God would keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus
and, amid external troubles,
 our joy would be full."
