Yes, there will be weeping. There will be a night! These will be seasons filled with tears, despair and pain. Yet we know that these will not last forever, they will come to pass. As the son of man was sent to bring <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/prayerrelay.com\/let-your-light-shine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">light into a dark world<\/a>, the morning will come to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When dawn arrives what has been your terror at night will be revealed and brought to shame. There is joy in redemption. This is what your morning will look like. I don\u2019t know what you are going through right now, but the morning will arrive. And with it will come joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joy is your place of promise. The night not a comfortable place to be, but you are in great company. The Holy Bible is packed with men and women who endured great nights, as they awaited their joy that was to come in the morning. And boy, did that joy come in the morning! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Joy-Comes-in-the-Morning_-How-to-Endure-the-Night-1024x512.png?resize=1024%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Joy Comes in the Morning_ How to Endure the Night\" class=\"wp-image-2291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Joy-Comes-in-the-Morning_-How-to-Endure-the-Night.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Joy-Comes-in-the-Morning_-How-to-Endure-the-Night.png?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Joy-Comes-in-the-Morning_-How-to-Endure-the-Night.png?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Joy-Comes-in-the-Morning_-How-to-Endure-the-Night.png?resize=640%2C320&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These are people who had moments of despair and even of doubt as they walked through darkness. The most difficult part of all of this is when darkness lasts longer than we thought it would. It is perhaps even harder when you know what is ahead of you. It is easy for the word that you carry to become a great scourge to your spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet we know what the word of God says about those who wait on the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Isaiah 40:31&nbsp;New King James Version (NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>31&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But those who&nbsp;wait on the&nbsp;Lord<br> Shall renew&nbsp;<em>their<\/em>&nbsp;strength;<br> They shall mount up with wings like eagles,<br> They shall run and not be weary,<br> They shall walk and not faint.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The promise of Isaiah 40:31 is what most of us long for when we are waiting for the morning to bring us joy. We long to have our strength renewed, to not <a href=\"https:\/\/prayerrelay.com\/not-grow-weary-good\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grow weary<\/a> and not faint. Darkness places us on a collision course with this promise. A prolonged night puts us into a waiting period. The contingency factor is whom you are waiting for. I don\u2019t know about you, but my help comes from the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Darkness-places-us-on-a-collision-course-with-this-promise.-A-prolonged-night-puts-us-into-a-waiting-period.-1024x1024.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"darkness places us on a collision course\" class=\"wp-image-2287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Darkness-places-us-on-a-collision-course-with-this-promise.-A-prolonged-night-puts-us-into-a-waiting-period..jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Darkness-places-us-on-a-collision-course-with-this-promise.-A-prolonged-night-puts-us-into-a-waiting-period..jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Darkness-places-us-on-a-collision-course-with-this-promise.-A-prolonged-night-puts-us-into-a-waiting-period..jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Darkness-places-us-on-a-collision-course-with-this-promise.-A-prolonged-night-puts-us-into-a-waiting-period..jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Darkness-places-us-on-a-collision-course-with-this-promise.-A-prolonged-night-puts-us-into-a-waiting-period..jpg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.prayerrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Darkness-places-us-on-a-collision-course-with-this-promise.-A-prolonged-night-puts-us-into-a-waiting-period..jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Psalm 121&nbsp;New King James Version (NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>God the Help of Those Who Seek Him<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Song of Ascents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>121&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&nbsp;will lift up my eyes to the hills\u2014<br> From whence comes my help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My help&nbsp;<em>comes<\/em>&nbsp;from the&nbsp;Lord,<br> Who made heaven and earth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us look at some people who walked before us with our faithful God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Abraham\"><\/span><strong>Abraham<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Abraham is not called the father of faith for no reason.

Having been anointed King, he was taken from tending sheep to dodging spears! He spent a long time in exile, on the run from a man sitting on a seat that the Lord had to give to him. Surely he should have wondered, but Lord, you said I would be king; why is this man still alive and taunting me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps some would have even begun to doubt the word of the prophet Samuel who had anointed David. They would have been whispering, \u201cPerhaps Samuel anointed the wrong son of Jesse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe this is why David would later praise God the way he did.
