Today’s prayer:

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: Come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; And his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100:1‭-‬5 KJV

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for a new week. Thank You for Your Word and for the truth within. Lord Jesus, I humbly request that You help us to live in praise and honor this week, being witnesses of Your goodness by our words, our actions, and our attitudes. Lord, please teach us how to be focused upon You each and every day, walking with humility and guided by Your truth. Lord, please speak clearly to our hearts that we might not sin against You. Let Your praises be upon our lips, Your love overflowing our hearts, and Your truth in our thoughts. Lord Jesus, please, let us, each one, be following close behind You, learning to die to ourselves and live for You alone. Thank You for all Your wonderous works! It is You who have made us and we are Yours! Amen!

Psalm 4:5 KJV — Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for Your Word. Thank You that You have given us clear direction as to what we are to offer as a sacrifice of righteousness. Lord, Your Word and Your life speaks clearly that we are not to live unto ourselves and our selfish desires and ambitions. We are to live in such a way that our actions, attitudes, and words are a reflection of You, Your goodness, Your holiness, Your truth. We are to remember that all we have is not our own, but was given by You and we are merely stewards. For the follower of You, the sacrifice is nothing compared to what You paid to redeem us. Lord Jesus, thank You that in offering sacrifices of righteousness we are better able to trust You, for it is through giving all back into Your hands we find peace in surrender. Lord Jesus, thank You. I give You this day. I give You my concerns and fears. I give You my future. Most of all, I give You all praise and glory, for You are righteous and Your Word is enough. I love You, Jesus. Thank You for first loving me.

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalms 100:1‭-‬5 NKJV

Amen!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You so much for another beautiful day. Thank You for life, the breath in my lungs, the beating of my heart, the enduring love of Your sacrifice. Thank You for salvation. Lord, thank You for Your provision, our daily bread, Your Word that holds the truths of life. Please continue to open my mind and heart to learning. Please hold me accountable to Your Word. Lord, where I have believed a lie or misunderstood a truth, please correct that in me. Please keep me from the snares of the enemy and teach me how to walk forward into Your truth. Lord, please help me walk in Your ways. Lord, please place a watch over my lips, a guard over my mind, and help me not to look at worthless things, that I might not sin against You. I love You. Thank You for first loving me. Amen.

A Psalm of Thanksgiving

It was a lovely surprise.

I opened my Bible and read:

“A Psalm of Thanksgiving”

Sometimes the Word speaks best for itself.

With that in mind, here it is.

Happy Thanksgiving!

“Make a joyful shout to the Lord , all you lands!

Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.

Know that the Lord , He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

And into His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the Lord is good;

His mercy is everlasting,

And His truth endures to all generations.”

Psalms 100:1‭-‬5 NKJV
