Loving Father, who attends with delight to your children, take from us our misery, and replace it with joy, that we would find relief and in gratitude praise you for your goodness and care for us, through Jesus our redeemer, who suffered for our sake but now abides in perfect happiness with you and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
‘You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.’ – Ps. 30:11
