1 Jerusalem, put off your garment of mourning and unhappiness, put on the splendor and glory of God forever. 2 Wrap yourself in the mantle of holiness that comes from God, put on your head the crown of glory of the Eternal One. 3 For God will show your splendor to every being under heaven. 4 He will call your name forever, “peace in justice” and “glory in the fear of the Lord.” 5 Rise up, Jerusalem, stand on the heights. Look towards the east and see your children gathered together from the setting of the sun to its rising, by the voice of the Holy One, rejoicing because God has remembered them. 6 They left you on foot, taken away by the enemy. God will lead them back, carried gloriously like royal princes. 7 For God has resolved to bring low every high mountain and the everlasting hills, to fill up the valleys and level out the ground, in order that Israel may walk in safety under the glory of God.
---- my own,
The time is coming when your mourning will turn to dancing, your sorrow to joy, and your tears will be tears of gladness, for I have heard your prayers and I will bless you and all those you love and those you plead for before Me ceaselessly. The time is coming, the hour is almost near when I will bring them home. They departed from Me and wandered in the wilderness, but I will find them, bandage their wounds, carry them home, heal them, and restore them to My flock. I will be their Shepherd, and they will be My sheep. I will call them by their name, and they will hear and answer Me. Do not be troubled, do not be anxious, do not be afraid. All that you ask for is all that I desire to give, and I desire to give so much more than you can ever ask for or think of. I AM God, and I desire that all those who are Mine shall prosper, living holy lives pleasing to My Father. Pray with confidence. Pray boldly. Ask in faith for all that you need. Make all your needs known to Me, and I will give all you ask for according to My endless and incomparable riches and glory, and you will be awestruck by the goodness and generosity of My love. Have faith. Do not doubt that all you ask for in faith will be given to you.
