Day 1

Today begins 40 Days of Words of Praise. My prayer each day is Psalm 19:14 — Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your side, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer 🙏🏼

Then, I’ve selected 40 praise promoting Bible passages to reflect on and respond to each day. Today’s is Psalm 9:1-2

[1] I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;

I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.

[2] I will be glad and exult in you;

I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

🙏🏼 Thank you Lord for dying in my place, and for standing by my side. There are no words to express my gratitude for what you did for me on the Cross. I didn’t deserve it and I can’t ever pay it back. But I can, in one sense, pay it forward. I can live a life of sacrifice and giving to others. And I can do that with my words. I know you’re uniquely with me when I do that. You’re forgiveness and your presence make life wonderful. Thank you, Lord.

My heart is yours. All my words are yours, Jesus. Help me to steward them for your Glory and the good of others. Amen
