Being Clothed With Gladness


Today’s Bible Verse:
Psalm 30:11
ESV

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,


Through tough times, we can never forget to bring our hurts to God. He is our Father, who created us and provides all that we need to support our lives. He sent His Son to save His creation from eternal damnation. Our God is caring, loving, and merciful. When we go to Him with our concerns, He is there to listen and help. He truly does turn our worries, sadness, and mourning into gladness and clothes us with a righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, His Son.

PRAYERS

Keep in Your Prayers:

  1. All people battling cancer.

A Prayer for Today:

Glorious Father, when troubles fill my life, I come to You for help, and You answer me. Thank You for sending Your Son, my Lord Jesus Christ, to pay for my sins and bring me hope. In His name, I pray. Amen.

Luther’s Morning Prayer:

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands, I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.

Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
