Lord, today I have a prayer of thanksgiving. What a week filled with your glory, your power, and your grace. Father, I pray that all of those who were a part of this journey would get a glimpse and a taste of you in the way that we have. You have opened the eyes and hearts of many throughout our time together. I thank you for the way you have worked this for the good of the kingdom and us. Lord, you are the One who set everything in motion. You know the plans you have for us. You know the final outcome and I thank you for sharing your son with us so that we could know the final victory has been won. I thank you for the peace and comfort in the sorrow. I thank you for a new depth of joy that can never be taken away. I thank you for the light and hope that you have given us as a family, both in our earthly and heavenly blood relation. Thank you for my sisters and brothers in Christ and the support and care they have continued to provide. Father, I thank you for the power you give through the body and for the unity you have put in these people. Your will be done for growing the breadth and, more importantly, the depth of your kingdom in Earth. Praise be to you for you are the Power, and the Grace, and the Glory! Amen!
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
