He Sings About You
Zephaniah 3:17
Lord, I forget that You delight in me. Your word says You rejoice over me with singing. Let me hear even one note of that song tonight, and let it quiet everything else. Amen.

“He will rejoice over you with gladness… he will exult over you with loud singing.”
— Zephaniah 3:17
Zephaniah is one of the Old Testament's harshest books of judgment, warning Judah of coming disaster because of idolatry and injustice. Then, in its final chapter, the tone turns completely: the prophet promises a day when God Himself will be 'in your midst,' not as judge but as a rejoicing presence — exulting over His people 'with loud singing,' the way a parent might sing over a child. It is one of the Bible's few pictures of God's own delight expressed out loud, not just His mercy extended reluctantly. This is a prayer for the times you feel like a disappointment to God, when you need to hear that His posture toward you can be joy, not just tolerance.
A new voiced prayer each day — for the morning, the commute, the sleepless 3 a.m.
