What Are You Wearing?

Provide for those who grieve...
a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.
Isaiah 61:3

What are you wearing today?
Not on your physical body,
but what is covering your mind
and emotions?
Are you cloaked in despair
and disappointment?
Are you wearing "heaviness?"

God's desire is to give you new clothes.
He wants to exchange the hurt you are wearing
for His healing.
He wants to remove your turmoil
and clothe you in His peace.
He wants to discard your sadness
and wrap you in His joy.

Are the garments of yesterday
holding you back and weighing you down?
Maybe it's time to exchange that heaviness
for His garment of praise.
Perhaps it's time to release those heavy burdens.
It's time to forgive those who have hurt you
and begin to praise your way to victory!
You can start by thanking God for the
life you have right now.
Thank Him for the opportunities today
has to offer.
Thank Him for the beautiful sunrise.
When you wear that garment of praise,
you will stand strong and display His splendor
all the days of your life!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
Kendall

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, I humbly come to You asking
that You take my old, heavy garments of despair
and heaviness.
Make me new today.
Give me a garment of praise so that I can
be a display of Your glory and splendor.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
