We all go through times of sadness but God is with us to comfort us. Many things can cause sadness but sadness doesn't last forever. God will restore joy.

Even in times of sadness, we can praise God. He gives us strength to carry on when we are sad. God is in control at all times and we can trust him to change the situation. God's joy is more powerful than all the sadness we go through!

Give me back the joy of your salvation

and sustain me

with a spirit ready to obey.

Psalm 51:12

Those who sow with tears,

with songs of joy they will reap. The one who comes out crying

as he sows the seed,

will return with songs of joy,

bringing his sheaves.

Psalms 126:5-6

I'm exhausted from moaning.

From crying so much at night

my bed;

with tears I soak my bed. My eyes are consumed with sadness;

weaken because of everyone

my opponents. get away from me

all you who do evil,

because the Lord heard my cry. The Lord heard my supplication;

the Lord accepted my prayer.

Psalms 6:6-9

The Lord is my strength and my shield;

in him my heart trusts, and from him I receive help.

My heart rejoices with joy,

and with my song I will give him thanks.

Psalm 28:7

John 14:1

This is my consolation in my suffering:

Your promise gives me life.

Psalms 119:50

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord,

it's over me,

because the Lord anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to care for those who are

with a broken heart,

announce freedom to the captives

and deliverance from darkness to the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn and give to all who mourn in Zion

a beautiful crown instead of ashes,

the oil of joy instead of mourning

and a mantle of praise

instead of depressed spirit.

they will be called

oaks of justice,

planting of the Lord,

for the manifestation of his glory.

Isaiah 61:1-3

For I will pour water on the thirsty land,

and torrents on dry land;

I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring

and my blessing on his descendants.

Isaiah 44:3

In this you rejoice, though now, for a little while, you must be grieved by all kinds of trials. This is to prove that your faith, much more valuable than gold that perishes even if refined by fire, is genuine and will result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Even though you haven't seen him, you love him; and though they do not see him now, they believe in him and rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorious, because you are obtaining the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 1:6-9

Is there anyone among you who is suffering? Let him pray. Is there anyone who feels happy? Let him sing praises.

James 5:13

In the fight against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your own blood. You have forgotten the word of encouragement that he addresses to you as to his children:

"My son, do not despise

the discipline of the Lord

don't even get hurt

with his rebuke, for the Lord disciplines

whom he loves,

and punishes everyone

whom he accepts as a son." Endure difficulties, receiving them as discipline; God treats you as children. Now, what son is not disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined, and discipline is for all children , then you are not legitimate children, but illegitimate.

Hebrews 12:4-8

For his anger lasts but a moment,

but his favor lasts a lifetime;

crying can persist one night,

but in the morning joy breaks out.

Psalm 30:5

My soul is consumed with sadness;

strengthen me according to your promise.

Psalm 119:28

The ropes of death encircled me,

the pangs of Sheol have come upon me;

affliction and sadness overcame me. So I called on the name of the Lord:

Deliver me, Lord! The Lord is merciful and just;

our God is compassionate. The Lord protects the simple;

when I was already without strength, he saved me.

Psalms 116:3-6

Why are you so sad,

oh my soul

why are you so upset

inside of me?

Put your hope in God!
