Practice Prayer

This morning I received a message from a dear friend saying:
Keep praying for our family,
that God would lift our heavy hearts.

When the message arrived, I was praying in the Psalms. Immediately I sent this response back to my friend:
Keep practicing Psalm 30:8.
And Psalm 30:11 is my prayer for you.

(8) I will cry out to you, O Lord. I will plead to the Lord for mercy:
(9) “How will you profit if my blood is shed, if I go into the pit? Will the dust of my body give thanks to you? Will it tell about your truth?”
(10) Hear, O Lord, and have pity on me! O Lord, be my helper!
(11) You have changed my sobbing into dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
-- Psalm 30:8-11 (GWT)

Lord, have mercy, Christ have mercy on us!
