Day 37 Reading: Exodus 24-25, Matthew 24:29-51, Psalm 30 and Proverb 7:24-27 
Sometimes our circumstances and the hurts of life can leave us breathlessly grieving or in overwhelming pain. We've hit the wall; there's no way out. Hope vanishes into thin air. It is just at that moment God comes through, and in his mercy and grace turns our tears into laughter and sobs into song. Only God can do that.
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness," – Psalm 30:11 (English Standard Version)
"Thank you heavenly Father, that you know my days of despair - and care. Help me to share the experience of the psalmist and see you turn my tears into joy. I declare my confidence and trust is in you. I may not be able to see the clouds' 'silver lining' today, but I know you can do great things beyond what I can feel today. Help me, dear Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen."
