Lord, I worship You. You are my Lord and King, my precious
Redeemer. There is no other God like You, entirely full of goodness, grace, and
mercy.
You heal us when we are brokenhearted
and bandage our wounds. You build us up
when we are weak in our soul. You are great and powerful O Lord, and You understand all things, even
what is in my heart.
Thank you that I don't have to live
with sadness hurt or depression. Thank you that you have put gladness in my
heart. This day I put on the Garment of Praise in exchange for the spirit of heaviness, and I glorify you as Lord of all.
“The
Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me because
the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good
news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for
the captives and release from darkness
for the prisoners, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to
bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of
mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They
will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of
his splendor. “
Isaiah
61:1-3
“I waited patiently for the Lord, And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He
also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet
upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise
to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord.”
Psalm 40:1-3
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the
everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired
or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the
weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew
their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow
weary, they will walk and not be faint. “
Isaiah 40:28-31
