Verse of the Day

“For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
— PSALM 30:5 (NIV)

The Night Won’t Last Forever

God’s faithfulness is like the sunrise—inevitable. Even when:

• The night feels endless…
• The tears soak your pillow…
• The wait stretches your faith…

This is His promise:

• 🌧️ Your sorrow has an expiration date (“weeping may stay for the night“)
• ☀️ Joy is already on the way (“but rejoicing comes in the morning“)
• ❤️ His favor outlasts every storm (“his favor lasts a lifetime“)

How to Cling to Hope

1️⃣ Speak truth over your night season

• “This pain is temporary—joy is coming.”
• “God’s favor surrounds me even here.”

2️⃣ Remind someone else

• Text a friend: “God sees your tears—dawn is breaking.”

3️⃣ Worship while you wait

• Play a song of hope (try “Joy Comes in the Morning” by Bethel)

Prayer for the Night Season
Faithful Father,
I confess—the night feels long. But I choose to trust:

• Your anger is not my reality (Your mercy is).
• My weeping is not the end (joy is).
• This darkness is not stronger (Your light is).

Until morning comes, help me to:

• 💡 Spot Your small mercies in the shadows
• 🤝 Comfort others who are still in their night
• 🕊️ Rest in Your promise that dawn always wins

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
