Oh Lord, you have brought me through another year of this journey. You have protected my soul and have made me whole in moments when I was so very broken. Father, You have carried me through dark hours and run with me through happy moments. Your love have washed over me again and again and Your grace has unfailingly sustained me. I am grateful for you, Jesus, and the way you have made my life complete. You meet me every time I need you, without failing. You are my constant. Spirit, you have washed over me so thickly this year that I have not even been able to stand at times. You have filled my soul to the fullest and have given me strength when I had nothing left. You are my lifeblood. Oh, beautiful Godhead, I am in awe of the power, glory and grace you bestow on me. I am your humble servant. With love, 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
Love you!
