Daniel’s Thoughts:
If I could live out this Psalm, then my
relationship with God would be so much stronger and I would be full of joy
constantly out of my dependence on God and his faithfulness and love.
It seems so simple and yet in practice it is so
hard to:
- · Give thanks to the Lord
- · Feel the Lord’s love
- · Cry to the Lord
- · Trust in the Lord
- · Recognize what the Lord has done
- · Give thanks again and constantly
- · Give it all up to our Lord
- · See that the Lord’s plans are bigger than ours
- · Praise the Lord
- · Give thanks the Lord!!!
Daniel’s Prayer:
Lord
You are my creator.
You are my savior.
Thank you Lord.
Your love encircles me.
Even when I feel broken
When I turn from you in anger and darkness
You comfort me and bring me home
Lord I am breaking my vow to you.
Lord I am not living up to your commands and your love
My heart is broken because of my sin.
Yet you still love me and redeem me.
Thank you Lord.
I give up my brokenness, my anger, my heart, my life to you
I give it all up to you!
I don’t understand what is happening in my life.
My heart is broken
But I trust you will work all things now for my good.
And for your Glory!
Thank you Lord!
All praise and honor and glory be to you!
Amen
