7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song.—The words of King David from Psalm 28:7
| i thank You God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay great happening illimitably earth) how should tasting touching hearing seeing breathing any--lifted from the no of all nothing--human merely being doubt unimaginable You? (now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened) | ||

Will you please pray with me?
Thank You, God, for loving us. Thank You for sending Jesus to be our Savior. Thank You for sending us Your Holy Spirit to dwell within us.
Our praise and thanksgiving to You, O God, is never ending. For You have proven always faithful. Your love has encircled us and drown us in the protection of Your mercy and grace. Your salvation has lifted us from our fallen state and set us before You.
We bow down before You, O God, and express our heart’s desire to serve You completely. Enable us to be obedient through the power of Your indwelling Holy Spirit.
We thank You for every blessing that You have so cheerfully given us. And, we thank You for hearing our prayer in and through the precious Name of Your Son, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
