A Prayer for Joy

Joy to the world……

the Lord has come!

It wasn’t the royal arrival anyone anticipated. And yet, Jesus’ appearance changed everything. In an instant, the Son of God became “God with us”—and over 2,000 years later, our weary world is still rejoicing.


Today, as you prepare for Christmas, spend some time celebrating that Jesus’ humble birth prepared a way for us to draw near to Him.

A Prayer for Joy

Jesus, thank You for becoming Immanuel, “God with us.” It’s because of You that I can experience true joy.


I admit that it can sometimes feel hard to be joyful in the middle of a busy or difficult holiday season. But when the cares of my heart are many, Your comfort gives me renewed hope and cheer.


So today, I choose to take refuge in You and rejoice. I will sing for joy because You are my strength and my salvation. In Your presence there is fullness of joy! And because of Your humble arrival over 2,000 years ago, I am now able to experience the joy of Your presence forever. Thank You.


You are always worthy of all glory, honor, and power—and so no matter what I face, I will choose to worship You.


In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Ever notice how most productivity advice feels like it was written for robots? "Wake up at 4 AM, meditate for two hours, answer all emails in exactly 30 minutes..." Yeah, right.

Look, I'm going to be straight with you. Most AI marketing tools are expensive. Jasper starts at $39/user/month just for basic features. Other platforms charge up to $99/month for their premium tiers. And that's before you factor in all the separate tools you need for different tasks. That's what makes American Marketing Company Marketing Tools different. At $49/month, you're getting an entire marketing department in your pocket. Not just one tool. Not just a few features. Everything. Let's break down what that $49 actually buys you: A full AI content creation suite that would normally cost $40-60/month on its own Email marketing automation that typically runs $30-50/month elsewhere Social media management tools that usually cost $25-35/month SEO optimization features that other companies charge $50+/month for Analytics and reporting that could easily set you back $30-40/month Add that up, and you're looking at $175-235 worth of marketing tools. For $49. But here's the real kicker: According to recent market analysis, businesses using AI marketing tools are seeing an average ROI increase of 37%. Think about that. If you're making $5,000 a month now, that's potentially an extra $1,850 in your pocket. From a $49 investment. "But I can just use free tools," you might be thinking. Sure, you could. You could also cut your own hair, change your own oil, and do your own taxes. But at some point, you have to ask yourself: What's your time worth? The average small business owner spends 20 hours per month on marketing tasks. With American Marketing Company Marketing Tools , our users report cutting that down to 5 hours. At even a modest $50/hour valuation of your time, that's $750 worth of time saved every month. Here's what makes this offer different: No contracts No hidden fees No "premium" features locked behind higher tiers No per-user pricing that suddenly triples your costs No complex onboarding process Just $49/month for everything. That's less than what most businesses spend on coffee for the office in a week . And unlike other platforms that make you pay extra for AI features, which can drive costs up significantly for small businesses , everything at American Marketing Company Marketing Tools is powered by AI from the ground up. Think about it this way: $49 is: Less than one tank of gas Less than a decent dinner for two Less than most monthly phone bills Less than what most competing tools charge for just one feature But unlike those expenses, this $49 is an investment that pays for itself. Often in the first week. Here's my challenge to you: Try it for one month. That's all. If you don't see at least a 2x return on that $49 investment, I'll be shocked. With the AI marketing industry growing by 38% in 2025, can you really afford to wait? The catch? There isn't one. But there is a reality: As AI technology costs rise, this $49 price point won't last forever. Lock it in now. Ready to stop wasting time and start growing your business? Visit American Marketing Company Marketing Tools and click "Subscribe." Your future self will thank you. P.S. Still on the fence? Remember this: While you're reading this, your competitors are probably already using these tools. The question isn't whether to embrace AI marketing - it's whether you'll do it before or after them.
