“To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified” Isaiah 61:3, NKJV.
When everyone wants you to show great faith and trust in God, but you are still shook from what’s happening around you and in the world. You want to scream but everyone wants you to praise your way through it. You want to cry but you are told to rejoice.
Cry and release those tears. Let your soul be cleansed and healed. Go in your car and scream at the top of your lungs if you must. Write it all down, or talk it out with a friend. Then when you’ve released the right way, go and feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Open your mouth and speak the truth of His word. Listen to the song that blesses you most as God reminds you that He is still on the throne and everything is in His control.
Then watch how He anoints your head with the oil of joy. Your loving Father is determined for your smile to be real. His Holy Spirit will do what He came to do, which is comfort and help you.
Prayer: Thank you, Father, you sure know how to meet us where we are. Minister to your daughters deepest need. Comfort us, Lord. Only you can turn sorrow into joy. Help us trust you through it all. Help us handle emotions the right way. We love you and we know you are good. We know you love us and you are in control. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thank you for reminding me that the Lord is near to me and will give me rest when I am weary and burdened. I will try to remain encouraged in God’s peace that surpasses all understanding that the world can’t give. I pray. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Blessings, Shalom and Agape 👀🙏🏽♥️📖🙌🏽
Awesome and very helpful.
And know that I used to go to a batting cage and whack the heck out of baseballs while I was going through very bad memories surfacing, many years ago. I pictured certain people’s faces on the baseballs, and it was great fun!
I am not physically able to do that now, so I do the Screaming in Pillows Method.
I cry at happy videos about puppies to get emotional release.
Holding it in makes us sick.
Our King of Kings helps us get it out, and He says to give our burdens to Him…He can take it.
And also, my sisters, remember that Batting Cages are really therapeutic.
Thank you for reminding us ❤️
Thank you Jesus such a timely word for me today 🙏
Amen. Thank you for always comforting me and helping me Lord. Thank you for giving me beauty for ashes, along with a joy that surpasses all understanding. Thank you for your garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that I may be called a tree of your righteousness, The planting of you Lord that my life shall glorify you Lord Jesus Christ my savior, my Lord, my everything. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Good, Good, Father for being my help in time of trouble. Thank you for covering me, embracing me with your love.
