Psalm 116
New International Version (NIV)
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
Lord you have saved me from death and sin and you protect me everyday. You are my Savior. You have brought me up out of my past and brought me into new life. This new life in you has been so joyful and full of purpose. Lord I love you so much, for you have heard my cries all of my days and you have watched over me. You have protected me, but also used my choices and my past for my good. I walked a lonely life without much purpose even though I had so much going for me worldly because I did not really know you. You delivered me from that future without you at the center and without hope. I look back and see how you came into my life gently and with Love taking over my heart and changing my life!
Let everything I do be all to your glory! I want to serve you and honor you with all I do. I want to bring your kingdom! I know I have made promises to you and I want to fulfill them.
Daniel's prayer:

I will call on him as long as I live.

when I was brought low, he saved me.

my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
