A Joyful Shout

So the ransomed of the Lord will return And come with joyful shouting to Zion, And everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away. I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies And of the son of man who is made like grass, That you have forgotten the Lord your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth, That you fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor, As he makes ready to destroy? But where is the fury of the oppressor? The exile will soon be set free, and will not die in the dungeon, nor will his bread be lacking. For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea and its waves roar (the Lord of hosts is His name). I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, You are My people.  Isaiah 51:11-16 NASB

God, thank You that You are greater than anything we will face.  Thank You that Your presence goes with us. We ask that You will lead us, that Your peace would guard our hearts and minds.  Lord Jesus, We ask for Your grace to cover our lives every day. We love You Lord...we need You. Hallelujah! Heavenly Father, thank You for making all things new!  We trust in You because we know that Your mercies are new every morning, and nothing ahead of us will take You by surprise.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
