John 16:20-23New International Version (NIV)
20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. 23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Dear Lord, My grief turns to joy. I will forget my anguish because of the joy and peace I have in you, Lord. You are coming back again. I will rejoice. No one will ever be able to take away my joy. In the day appointed, I will no longer need to ask you anything. The Father will give me whatever I need in your name, Jesus. Thank you for your Word and your Truth. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
