Joy is given, not earned.

“While it may be true that areas of our life can affect our spiritual life, thinking that something’s wrong with our spiritual life EVERY TIME we feel dry causes us to return to a works based salvation. Joy is GIVEN by God, not worked for or earned by man. There are seasons that God brings you through because He desires obedience beyond what you feel. ” - Clark Fobes IV

Truly, this must be why David cries out, “restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation…”
