Weeping, I write…but Joy comes!

Oh God, draw near to us as we draw near to you.  We give our sorrow, hurt, and sadness to you.  In exchange, PLEASE give us joy, healing, and peace.  PLEASE!  We will not crumble because of the acts of evil, but rather we will pray that You will deliver us from evil. We know you hate evil, so please have compassion to forgive us when we sin—reunite us back to you again.  We will pay for our wrongdoing, and we pray that your grace and mercy will settle the account with those who have wronged us.  Wash us, so that we are clean again.  Let your mercy be new each day.

I know your grace and mercy are with us.  In our weakness, make your strength perfect O Lord!  For I am weak, but You have all power and strength.  Arise, our King!  Arouse your Holy Spirit within us!  I can feel your strength rising in me.  I can feel my tears drying upon my face.  Now, I can feel the heaviness being made light!  I can feel your presence O Lord!  Please be near us today dear God!  Have us to know that you are here!  Have mercy on us Lord.  May You be glorified!  Oh my God, you never leave us, do you?  You never will!  I love you Dear God!  Thanks for not forgetting about us, no matter where we may be this morning.
