6/18/14- Restore our Joy

1When the Lord restored the fortunes ofa Zion,
we were like those who dreamed.b
2Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
4Restore our fortunes,c Lord,
like streams in the Negev.
5Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
6Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them. (Psalm 126)

Thoughts:  Lord, restore our blessings.  The blessing that comes from listening to you first, and believing you can do more than we can ask or imagine.  Help us not to shrink back, but to follow you.  Help us to have joy again.  Restore our joy and our hope in you.  

Prayer: You alone are the lifter of our heads and restorer of our fortunes.
