the Precept (Principle)
James 4:9
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
the Promise (from God)
Isaiah 61:2e-3
To comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the, that he might be glorified.
our Prayer (to God)
Isaiah 64:9
Be not wroth very sore, O, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech Thee, we are all Thy people.

NOTE: Yesterday we talked about the promise God is near you when you are down. Today we go a step further. God “comforts ALL that mourn.” You can prepare your heart when you are up and when you are down?
