Do you need a new garment today? Not a new physical garment, but what\u2019s covering your mind and emotions. Are you clothed with despair and disappointment? Are you wearing \u201cheaviness?\u201d If you\u2019ve gone through a hurtful situation, the Bible says there is a time to grieve, and it\u2019s important to release that hurt to the Lord. But the Bible also tells us that God wants to give you a garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness and despair.<\/p>\n
Are the garments of yesterday weighing you down and holding you back? It\u2019s time for a new garment. The garment of praise is light and filled with peace and joy. Don\u2019t carry those heavy burdens around anymore. Choose to forgive those who have hurt you and praise God for what He\u2019s doing in your life today. Thank Him for restoring you, even if you don\u2019t see it yet. Just like this verse says, you will be as strong and secure as a tall oak tree, displaying His splendor all the days of your life!<\/p>\n
\u201cHeavenly Father, I come to You today and ask that You take off my old, heavy garments of despair and heaviness. Make me new today. Give me a garment of praise so that I can display Your glory and splendor in Jesus\u2019 name. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
