Consolation Brings Joy
A prayer for grief, from Psalm 94:19
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy: the psalmist doesn't say the anxiety was small or short. It was great, and the consolation met it at size. A prayer for comfort that actually reaches how bad it actually is.
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. Psalm 94:19 (NIV)
The prayer
Father, when grief was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy. You support me when my foot slips. You become my fortress.
Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today. Amen can wait until you mean it.
