In keeping with our last conversation of praying the Psalms, I share this…
Psalms 8:1-2 NLT
O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. 2 You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you.
Do you ever get just a little choked up when you see God do something?
Do you ever just think WOW when you see something God created?
Tell Him. Let God know what you think, how you feel, where your mind is, and that you are in awe of Him. Those “awe moments” are the ones that print a memory in our minds and even on our hearts. Cherish those moments almost like a picture taken that you keep going back to for years.
God is able. God is good. God is creator and keeper of all. God is love, and we expect Him to respond in love, to give because of His love and to care for those we care about because of His goodness.
That is a lot about His character. There is a lot about His character that will add to our prayers and our seeking His face.
The verses above, and many others remind us of His character. Praise Him for who He is. Also praise Him for how our lives change because of of who He is. You know, our faith is strengthened and comes alive. How is that? Pray that to as a prayers of thanks, renewal and even a reminder to us.
Use this in your prayers today …
Psalm 112 NLT
Praise the Lord! How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands.
2 Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed…
4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous…
7 They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.
8 They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.
9 They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor…
That is about who we are and how we face life. I am so grateful that rightly placed faith leads me to live in confidence as I trust God.
God, you are amazing. Your glory fills the sky and the world, but your glory also fills my heart and my mind. I choose to lift you, praise you and to tell others about you. Strengthen my faith. May my family confidently walk out this day and not live in fear. You about the giver, and I want to be a giver as well Thank you for the example and truth. Today, I will live my faith out loud because I trust you are able, good, kind and loving. This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Finally, please pray for the trip to Cuba next week and the retreat I will help to host May 5-7 for the FCA sports ministry staff in Cuba. Thank you! God is good!
