Turning of Captivity: Trust, Worship, and Prophesy

Between the psalm that hangs the harp and the one that sings restoration, choose to trust in God, worship in pain, and prophesy the turning.

Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with joy, carrying his sheaves.
Psalm 126:5-6
