Prayer for September 13th, 2024

Good morning, God —thank you!!

Through troublesome times that too often cause our hearts to become weighed down with difficulties and doubts, I pray your love will fill us and strengthen our souls. Replace seasons of weeping and hardship with laughter and joy. Clothe us in strength, dignity, wisdom, and grace. Let us laugh in the storms and not fear the future, knowing it is in your hands. Laughter is good medicine!! In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs 17:22

22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Job 8:21

21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.

Ecclesiastes 3:4

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Psalm 126:2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.
