Clothed With Joy!



You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.
    You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.
    O L
ORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!

—Psalm 30:11-12 (NLT)


Heavenly Father,


Oh that I would never stop singing Your praises and never let my thanksgiving be silenced!  For You have done great and wonderful things for me!


The path I once walked down was leading me to defeat, destruction, and death—as my sin separated me farther and farther from You.  Then, at last, I heard You calling me home to You.

I mourned greatly over how I had allowed my sin to make a mess of my life and distance me from You.  I acknowledged my helpless state and asked You to forgive me and save me.  And You looked on me, saw my repentance and out of Your compassionate and unfailing love for me, forgave me of my sin and saved me completely—by the blood of Your Son, Jesus.

You turned my mourning into joyful dancing—took away my clothes of mourning over my regrettable past and exchanged them for clothes of inexpressible joy for the good things You have planned for me—so that I might forever sing praises to You and not be silent.


Oh that I would never stop singing Your praises and never let my thanksgiving be silenced!  For You have done great and wonderful things for me!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
