Father, today a prayer of thanksgiving from a heart overflowing with gratitude for the support you have put in place for my life. Not only have you given your Son for me and given your Spirit to me, but you have also provided me with family, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, co-workers, and countless others who make my life joyful. I thank you for the way you work and move in, around, and through the people in my life and ask for you to be near each of them this day. I pray that I can give back to them out of the overflow of my heart. You are good, Lord. And You are so good to me. Thank you.
Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. I was prompted to read this verse and it was perfect for today, of course. All of Psalm 100 is praise to God. For me today, I am praising God because He was faithful in something He had revealed to me a while ago. Let me explain. Have you ever asked God for His strength? Not just strength, but His strength. This is something that I was prompted to do about a year ago, not to just ask for strength in general, but to specifically request His strength to be given to me. I know it sounds a little like a bit of rhetoric, but keep reading. In requesting God's own strength, I have noticed something tremendous has happened each time. When God bestows His strength within me, it is so much more than just endurance. His strength comes with clarity of mind, lightening of the spirit, and a depth of inner joy that cannot help but make me smile. I feel energized in a way
