“In you, O Lord is fullness of joy. Make me hear of joy and gladness, that the body you have broken may rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.”

Lord, too many of us are bowed down under the weight of our sins, we are broken and saddened as a result, and we are not able to be joyful. But Lord, if only you would be merciful to us, hide your face from our sins, and blot out all of our iniquities, then our broken bodies will rejoice and we will be glad in you. Lord, you promised us in John chapter six and verse twenty-four, to ask, and we will receive, so that our joy may be full, and we know that you are a God who cannot lie. Thank you, Lord!
