For The Sad

Lord I pray for the sad.

Please let those tears they shed become water of life to people around them.

Let those who shed tears find joy.

Joy which have grown with tears of sadness.

Let sadness uphold joy that they may find joy, precisely because they were once sad.

O Lord,

Let us be aware, let us not lose hope.

Because hope is the fruit of the joy of sadness.

Though sadness be the torrents of affliction and despair.

Let Joy be the unshakable tree planted by the river of life.

And let hope be the fruit hanging on the tree of Joy.

Let the taste of that hope be the happiness.

The happiness.
