Psalm 30:11-12 11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Gracious God, when life’s hardships and strife come our way, please cause us to see them as invitations to turn to You? And remind us that it is in Your strength that we can face the challenges of the day. We need not hide from our problems nor depend on our meager resources to make it through. Today and every day we depend on You by seeking first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness; knowing You supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory.
Today in the middle of our struggles, we look to You with faith, trust and hope. We know You as the One who saves us, gives us new joy; and the One who loves us with eternal love. When we don’t have solutions to our problems, and we don’t know the way through our wilderness experiences; we can trust You to provide all we need. And even when our pathway to peace is stained by our tears, we know “joy will come in the morning.
” Lord, as we weep - we continue to pray; as we weep - we sing songs of Zion; as we weep - we believe You hold us safely in Your hands. So Lord, even in our weeping, we find peace in knowing our pain and sorrow are under Your control; and won’t last always. You use our entire earthly journey for our good and Your glory; wasting nothing. What a Mighty God You are!
Glorious God, there is none like You. You are the One True Living God; and besides You there is none other. Lord, we worship You, honor You and praise You today and throughout eternity. You are worthy of it all. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
