These verses near the end of Habakkuk’s writing remind us that joy in or with God is not some magical amulet to ward off bad things. Joy with God does build resilience in us that can be sustained in difficult times and enables us to bounce back more quickly.

To be clear -- having a well-developed joy pathway doesn’t mean you quickly stop feeling unpleasant emotions like fear, grief, anger, or despair and suddenly feel happiness instead. It means that these emotions don’t trap you in the back of your brain without access to the command center. Well-developed joy pathways enable us to maintain a stable identity regardless of how we feel.

Session A: We continue revisiting joyful memories recorded on your Golden Moments list. Look for God’s presence in the joys. Invite Him to share thoughts about joys you’re recalling. Again, notice body sensations, attitudes, heart rate, etc.

Session B: Thought Rhyming as Immanuel Journaling:
Take one or two of your joys from today (or your list) and envision God responding with one or two sentence “thoughts” in the following areas: 

From the Joyful Journey book:
Unresolved pain launches and automatic search for relief. Ed Khouri and colleagues explain what happens when we are unable to process distress and intense emotions then turn to temporary relief. (Wilder, 2013) We seek behaviors, experiences, events, people and substances to numb our pain [BEEPS]. Khoiri explains how this practice usually becomes addictive. Addictions can then lead to even more trauma. The sad thing is that Christians are not exempt from this reality.

There is a bonding or attachment element to the experience of joy that cannot be reproduced simply by medications herbs or drugs.

Session C: Reflecting with Interactive Gratitude:
Spend five minutes reflecting on the day or week. 

From the Joyful Journey book:
The mental activity of avoiding pain distracts us from relational connection with God and others. Being overwhelmed disconnects us. If disconnection, like dropped calls, becomes a repeated experience with God, our trust in God begins to decline. We end up feeling abandoned in our pain and begin questioning God's goodness toward us. Our distrusting God's goodness may grow deeper with repeated unsuccessful connections. Distrust becomes one of the roadblocks to iSight with God and we become stuck. Without interaction, many of us become hardened or indifferent to God altogether. After all, God seems indifferent to our suffering or incompetent or even cruel… Unfortunately, if we fail to connect to God many of us quit trying. Other well-meaning fellow believers may encourage us to pray harder or to study the scriptures, but these remedies may also fail to restore our connection with God. We need to troubleshoot our "dropped calls." There is often a source of interference and Immanuel journaling can help us find the cause.
