Sad

"Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I should put my hope in God," Psalm 43:5.

Dear God, you, you alone are our strength! When we mourn because of oppression, you send your light and truth! These lead us into your presence, to your own dwelling place. They lead us right up to your altar, to you! You are our joy and happiness. We praise you, O God, with the harps of our hearts. Sadness passes away. We hope in you, our Savior and our God!

We meet up with a brother or sister today at the foot of Jesus' altar. And, together, we praise God that the Lord Jesus lives beyond the cross! Lives to intercede for us.
