Morning Psalm and Prayer

Nothing is too hard for God! He spoke and the universe was formed. By His word, the stars, the seas, the earth and all that is in it came into being. We stand in awe of God our creator!

How joyful to know that your sin is fully forgiven! Forgiveness is yours because Jesus paid the penalty for sin at the cross - and you receive His forgiveness by faith in Jesus. As a child of God, your Father in Heaven keeps His eyes on you and counsels you in the way that you should go.

The Lord knows your better than you know myself. He is not put off by your times of grief and despair. Jesus knew what it was to be alone and abandoned. Make the Lord's presence your refuge. Love the Lord and be strong in the Lord.

It's true that there are times of lament and sadness in life. When you pray to God, even when you don't really feel the best, His love and faithfulness will meet you -- and lift you up! God can remove your sadness and replace it with joy! Weeping lasts for the night but joy comes in the morning!

Have you thought about the strength of God's voice? In this psalm, you hear David's meditation on the voice of the Lord. Be encouraged this morning to turn your heart to God's Word and to open your heart to His voice. Be blessed!

The Lord listens to your prayers today! He cares and He helps! When your heart trusts the Lord, you will be blessed. God loves His people, shepherds and shields them. Praise the Lord!

The Lord cares for you! Though you may feel alone today, even abandoned, the Lord continues to care and will never leave you! He is your light and salvation. He is the strong fortress protecting you. Set your heart on the beauty of the Lord. Wait for Him. And let your heart be courageous!

You are loved by the Lord! He delights in guiding your life and in expressing to your heart His faithful love. This psalm contains both a warning and an encouragement. The psalmist warns against associating with people whose hearts are far from God. And he encourages you to be found in His house giving praise to God for His wonderful works.

The Lord is faithful and good! His nature makes him generous and forgiving. He will show you His paths and He will forgive all of your sins when you submit to Jesus in faith.

You are qualified to approach God's Holy dwelling because of the righteousness of Jesus given at your salvation! Pray today for an entire generation to place their faith in Jesus Christ! And look forward by faith to the triumphant return of the King of Glory, the Lord strong and mighty!
