PROTECTING YOUR HEART FROM THE DAMAGE OF DISAPPOINTMENT
GET UP
MOURNING TO DANCING
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
NONE OF US GET PERMISSION TO STAY DOWN
For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
FILL YOUR HORN WITH THE OIL OF JOY
To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
THE PRESENCE OF JESUS BRINGS JOY
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
GO
GOD HAS BETTER FOR YOU
‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
