"I love you, LORD. You are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to Him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies." Psalm 18:1-3
There have been times in my life when I wondered if You were listening to me. Yet lately there is no doubt. I see You answer so concisely, Father. Can I ever praise You enough?! My words seem so insignificant at this moment. I thank You, O Lord, with what little I can offer. I am overwhelmed with Your tender grace. My heart overflows with joy and sweet peace because I sense Your great love for me. How could I ever live without You, God? I could not!
You are Life, You are Love, You are Listener. There is no other god but You. Thank You, Jesus, that when I came to the well seeking Your living water You freely gave and You continue giving every day. And now I will rest in knowing You have me and mine safe in Your hands. In Jesus Precious Name, amen.
This is my prayer for today,
Julie
