Everyday Study: Laugh to Lift Yourself Up In Psalm 51:12, David prayed, “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation.” It was a very difficult time in his life—and he understood that only God could return his joy! This is true for all of us. If you are dealing with painful or demanding circumstances that have sapped you of your joy, taken away your laughter, and brought stress into your life, don’t try to go through it alone. Ask God to return His joy to your heart. He is willing and able to give you “the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise” (see Isaiah 61:3 AMP)
