Prayer of Thanksgiving

The episode starts with Psalm 139:7-12 which declares there is NO Place you can go where the Lord can’t go and find you. That is good news if you are feeling bad. To undo that feeling, we are going to offer a prayer of thanksgiving. Praise puts us in the right relationship with God. It brings us closer to Him. That will solve all of your problems.
