"Spend time today praising God for who He is, His creation, the life He has given us, His salvation for us and for the many ways He has blessed us. Our focus today is not for material things, but for His attributes in Galatians 5:22-23. Thanks and praise to God in all things!"
This morning I was skimming through some verses I had previously underlined in Psalms. A relatively new concept to me that I have really come to enjoy has been praying through scripture... as I quietly read through my underlined verses, I realized that they formed a pretty incredible prayer that was an accurate reflection of what I wanted to say to the Lord today.
"Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts, whose name is the Lord, and exult before Him. A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows is God in His hold habitation.... Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation.... For you are my hope; O Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth. By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You... For He will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and the lives of the needy he will save. He will raise their life from oppression and violence, and their blood will be precious in His sight... I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will meditate on all Your work and muse on Your deeds. Your way, O God, is holy; what god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples....Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious name forever; and may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen."
-Psalm 68:4-5,19; 71:5-6; 72:12-14, 18-19; 77:11-14; 72:18-19
