A Scripture and a Prayer: “God Changes Everything”

“You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy” (Psalm 30:11)

Prayer:

Lord, Your promise is that while sorrow may last for a night, joy, Your joy, comes every morning. As the day progresses, trials and tribulations come against us, and we experience times of loss. And it is in these times that discouragement and disappointment set in, turning our hopes and dreams into times of great sorrow. Yet, in your wonderful mercy and grace, this promise is ours, that you will turn our sorrows, our wailing and mourning into times of dancing and joy. It’s not that these losses disappear or that these trials go away, but that You reveal the beauty of Your presence that overwhelms our souls, and we see Your love, grace, and mercy being poured into our lives. Therefore, for all those who are going through these times of sorrow, Holy Spirit open up their eyes to see the glory of Your presence and put within their heart the joy of Your salvation. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
