John 16:22-24

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

22 l So also you have sorrow now, but m I will see you again, and n your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 o In that day you will p ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, q whatever you ask of the Father in my name, r he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. s Ask, and you will receive, t that your joy may be full.
