JOY: The LORD will turn your mourning into joy - Jeremiah 31:13

The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing. Jeremiah 31:13

Eternal Truth:

• "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4
• "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Praise & Prayer

• Abba Father, I bow with a heart of gratitude to thank You for turning my mourning into joy. Lord Jesus, I give You my sorrows and shattered dreams. I praise You for removing my sackcloth of sadness, and clothing me with oil of gladness, that I might sing praises to You and not be silent. I trust in Your promise that You will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things will pass away and all things will become new upon Your return. I ask You to please comfort the broken hearts of family members and friends who have suffered loss and are grieving. Holy Spirit, please move upon their hearts to cast their pain and sorrows to Christ Jesus, who brings comfort, joy, and hope to all who call upon Him. I pray in the name of Jesus, our mighty Savior.
