Heavenly Father,
It might be today.
It might be tomorrow.
It might be next year.
It might take longer.
But all of us will one day have our mouths
filled with laughter
and our tongues wagging with shouts of joy (Psalm 126:2).
You have already returned us to yourself
through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
but one day, you will finish restoring our fortunes.
In that day, you will free us forever from captivity to sin;
You will restore us to yourself fully and forever.
We will laugh and hug and dance
and work and praise you
as you always planned for us to do.
Encourage our hearts today
with a lovely vision of that day.
In Jesus’ restoring name. Amen.
Read Psalm 126.
