Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Forgive me, Lord, for the moments when the gravity of life has silenced my laughter and shadowed my joy. I pray that You reignite the spark of mirth within my soul, that I may echo Your love through my laughter and spread comfort and gladness to those around me.
Bless me with the ability to see Your hand at work in the simple, the mundane, and the complex tapestry of life. May my laughter be a beacon of hope, a testament to Your enduring promise of renewal and grace. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
