Practical Steps in the Pursuit of Joy 

So you don't pursue joy in the Lord? That's probably why you're suffering from hopelessness.

@@HearGodsWord I doubt that but I leave it to the omnipotent, omniscient & omnipresent God. The one thing I’m sure is that you don’t have to fake things.

@Holyshit-ku4fn what do you doubt? No-one mentioned faking anything either.

@@HearGodsWord I doubt 1) you meant what you said 2) not being privileged (like u) to pursue joy leads to hopelessness.

@Holyshit-ku4fn I meant what I said and if you knew the Bible you'd realise it was accurate. Privilege is irrelevant and ared herring. If you don't find joy in the Lord then you probably need to work with your pastor to see what's stopping you.
