Sadness Grief and Discouragement

Selected Sub-Tab

Psalm 30:5

"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."

Weeping is given its place, it may stay for the night, yet it is not permanent. The verse frames sorrow as temporary in the larger arc of God's favor. For someone in prolonged sadness, this does not minimize the present night; it anchors the heart in the certainty that morning, and the rejoicing that belongs to it, will come because of who God is.
