 Promise #201: I will turn your mourning into dancing and surround you with joy. Psalm 30:11 (WEB) You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness, We all struggle with grief at one time or another in life. We lose those we love and suffer the loss of many things. A life that ebbs and flows has seasons of mourning and dancing. In Ecclesiastes, we read that there is a season for all things. The promise for today acknowledges that there is a season for grieving in our lives, but it also points to the time when our God and Father will turn that mourning into a season of dancing. God Himself will throw off our clothes of sadness so He can clothe us with His joy! In times of grief and heartbreak, God promises to be close to us. So, if you are in that season, allow God's love to fill your soul and carry you in your weakest moment. But be encouraged: There is a time when God Himself will turn your mourning into dancing and surround you with His joy. *** Responsive Prayer: Father, thank You for understanding what I am going through in every season of life, and for Your heart being filled with compassion for me. I ask for the grace to embrace each season in its time so that I can grieve when I need to grieve, and I might break out into dancing at the appropriate times. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
