Doing Life Together

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord … Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare (Psalms 40:3, 5 NIV).

Dear God, when I think of all You have done for me:
• Made a place for me in heaven
• Called me Your daughter
• Located me where I am on this earth
• Surrounded me with beauty
• Given me a family to love
• Given me meaningful work to do
• Slowly transformed me
My heart is filled with gratitude and joy.
Thank You, God, for all Your blessings and keep me close to You. Amen.

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread (Psalm 37:25 NIV).

Dear Lord,
You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides.
I lack nothing, because You know what I need and give it to me.
May I always recognize Your favor, and walk close by You.
Thank you for Your blessings and for my redemption. Amen.

Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about (Psalm 35:11 NIV).

Thank You, God, for retirement.
What a blessing it is not to have to deal with workplace politics.
My life is characterized by peace.
I am free to enjoy my friends and my children
and the beauty of Your creation.
Lord, thank You for blessing me in my old age. Amen.

Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth (Psalm 31:5).

Dear God, I surrender myself to You.
Let me no longer live for myself;
let me walk according to Your will.
Make me into the woman You created me to be.
Lead me, O Lord.
Draw me close to You.
Amen.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from the words of my groaning? (Psalm 22:1 NIV)

Dear God, how terrifying and awful and wondrous
is what Jesus endured and accomplished on the cross.
You had Him mutilated and vilified in our place.
He didn’t deserve this—but we did.
How could You have mercy on me,
but sacrifice the King of Heaven?
I can’t understand my redemption,
but I thank You and praise You for it.
Amen.
