♪You give hope… Great Are You, Lord♪

Mm, yes! Thank You for the life and hope You give. The love that You are (1 John 4:8b). The light You bring to the darkness (Luke 1:78-79).  The broken hearts You restore. Your breath in our lungs (Acts 17:25b) that cause us to ♪pour out our praise to You only♪

How blessed we are that ♪All the earth will shout Your praise Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing Great are You, Lord♪

Father God, how I ask (Matthew 7:7) You to keep me singing of Your matchless, healing love. 

You have plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11a). Plans for good and not for evil (11b). Plans to give us a future and a hope (11c). Thank You Lord that You do.

Thank You that Your Word calls us to trust in You. With all our hearts (Proverbs 3:5a). Leaning not on our own understanding (5b). Seeking Your will in all we do (6a). Believing You will direct our path (6b).

Thank You for telling Jeremiah that when the people of Judah prayed, You would listen (Jeremiah 29:12). That they would find You if they sought You wholeheartedly (13). Their captivity would end and fortunes be restored (14). 

We find great hope in Your Truth and promises Lord. Thank You for the kings, prophets and followers who wrote of their own experiences and those of others.

We get to “be truly glad” (1 Peter 1:6a). For the “wonderful joy ahead” (6b). Even though there will be many trials to endure for a little while (6c).

Thank You for Jesus’ own forecast of many trials and sorrows on this earth (John 16:33a). Complete with the added bonus to “Take heart because I have overcome the world” (13b).

Talk about healing love! Fill me with Your Spirit that I will live in, with, by, through and for that love today. Use me as You know is best. Thanking and praising You as I go. Following You. Amen.
