To Be Glad And Rejoice



I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love,
    for you have seen my troubles,
    and you care about the anguish of my soul.

—Psalm 31:7 (NLT)


Loving LORD,


How wonderful it is to be glad and rejoice in Your love—to know, in my heart, that it’s always Your unfailing love which carries me through the hardest things that life on this earth can bring!


In the midst of my troubles, let me know Your unfailing love for me—Your mercy and Your grace poured out over me—for only by the power of Your caring and compassionate presence here with me can the anguish of my soul be truly put to rest.

Don’t allow my anguish to overwhelm my soul. Don’t allow my troubled heart to see the very hard, but momentary, struggles I face here on earth, as larger than Your capacity to bring me through them all—in unfathomable peace and with enduring joy, because of the ultimate victory made available to me in Christ.

Help me to run to Your love, allow You to hold me in that love, trust You to protect me and provide for me by that love—and through that unfailing love, show me the path of life you have for me.


How wonderful it is to be glad and rejoice in Your love—to know, in my heart, that it’s always Your unfailing love which carries me through the hardest things that life on this earth can bring!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
