Prayer of Joy and SorrowPsalm 30:11 - 13 Heavenly Father, God of joy and sorrow, Help me avoid evil lurking in the shadow; Hear me, O Lord and have pity on me, To be my helper away from my enemy; You can change my mourning into dancing, Your Word teaches my heart how to sing; O Lord, forever all the thanks will I give, For all of my wrong doing that you forgive; Help me to learn what you are teaching, Towards the goals that you are reaching; Keep me from judging good from the bad, And shoot for the things that make me glad; So they can be part of my spiritual growth, For my wife, remember all that I betroth; I trust you will be my faithful companion, Talking to you in prayer in sweet communion; Strengthen me in times with a lot of strife, As I grow through all seasons of my life; It's through your son that I truly convey, In the name of Jesus I do pray.
