The following is something I wrote
in my prayer journal this week after reading and being convicted by
Psalm 34:1:
“I will bless the
Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
When
things are going smoothly and I feel blessed,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
trouble comes and I need Your helping hand,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
days are full of sorrow and pain,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
I am lonely and depressed,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
loved ones suffer and die,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
uncertain times make me anxious,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
I don’t know where to turn,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
I know I’ve sinned and need Your forgiveness,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
When
weeping endures for the night but joy comes in the morning,
I will give You praise.
I will give You praise.
For
You are the Creator, Redeemed, Healer, Comforter, Savior,
Friend of sinners, Provider, Guide, Counselor, Lord, and soon-coming King.
Friend of sinners, Provider, Guide, Counselor, Lord, and soon-coming King.
