Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Psalm 30:11, “You turned my wailing into dancing;

you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.”

This is your hope. You will mourn only for a season, and then your grief will end.

Ecclesiastes 3:4, “[There is] a time to mourn and a time to dance.”
