Lord, I praise you that you promise to fulfill my deepest desires.  And in your love to do it with only your good and perfect gifts.  I ask you now to fill up my life with those gifts.  And help me expect them even when I don’t see.  For I know as I look I will see.  For your promises never fail.  Amen.

The Cure for Anxiety

“Praise the Lord, my soul, and remember all of his blessings.” (Psalm 103:2)

Lord, thank you for all of your blessings.  Especially the important ones I overlook.  Fill my life with all you have promised.  And help me in the midst of challenges to focus on your promises rather than my problems.  For I know I will see your promised blessings.  And they will be more than enough.  Amen

A New and Amazing Life

“The Lord redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and grace.”  (Psalm 103:4)

Lord, thank you that no matter how deep the pit you have the grace and power to lift me out.  And then you crown me with your love.  When I’m wallowing help me to look up.  Then lift me out to the life of blessing you offer.  I choose not to live in the pit when I can live in the castle.  Amen

A New Day! And New Blessings!

“The love of the Lord never ends.  His blessings never cease.  Great is his faithfulness.  His blessings begin again every morning.”  (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Lord thank you that in the dark of night I know the morning of your blessings is coming.  Help me to see your light when engulfed in my darkness.  Bring me your morning in the midst of my night.  I wait patiently expecting your new day for I know it will dawn.  Amen
