Words that stood out
I love the Lord because He hears my voice. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! What can I offer the Lord? I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all His people. The Lord cares deeply when His loved ones die. Yes, I am your servant. I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving. Praise the Lord!
Reflection
” Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath.”
Psalm 116 v 2
It’s a wonderful picture of the Lord hearing my voice as He bends down to listen, just as we do to children. I will pray to Him. Then comes the question what can I offer Him? I will pray to Him. In the presence of other Christians, I will pray to Him. He cares deeply! Humbly as a servant, I will pray to Him. I will be thankful. I will praise Him. Simple! Keep your promises to Him.
Prayer
Almighty God, we thank you for listening to our prayers. You are above all things, around all things and part of all things. Hallelujah! I ask today for guidance in all I do to be what you have in mind for me; the best I can be for you. I pray for all those who are sick in their hearts and bodies and ask for healing in the name of your son Jesus Christ, Amen.
