Join me in praying this prayer based on Psalm 148 - Lord of heaven and earth, You are worthy of all praise.

The mountains stand, the oceans roar, and all creation declares Your greatness. Teach my heart to join that song.

Good Thursday Morning. Let's read Psalm 146-147 this morning. Psalms 146–147 call us to lift our eyes and place our trust where it truly belongs -  not in people or circumstances, but in God alone. Human strength fades, plans change, and life can feel uncertain. But the Lord remains faithful. In Psalm 147, the writer continues, reminding us that this powerful God is also deeply personal. Remember we started this prayer blog, Prayer Starters,  to help each of us to pray and build a personal relationship with God. He wants to have a relationship with Him. He heals the brokenhearted, binds up wounds, and cares for both creation and His people. The same God who counts the stars knows your needs. When life feels heavy, these psalms invite us to praise - not because everything is easy, but because God is steady. Praise shifts our focus from what is failing to the One who never does. Today, trust Him. He sees, He cares, and He will sustain you.  Let's pray - Lord, I choose t...

Psalm 143 - Here is this morning's prayer based 100% on the 143rd Psalm.  Save this prayer for any time you are overwhelmed or down.  When I am in trouble, I turn to God with this Psalm.  Have a blessed day. Let's pray! Lord, hear my prayer and listen to my cry for mercy. In Your faithfulness and righteousness, come to my help. I feel weary and overwhelmed, like my spirit is faint within me. My heart is troubled, and I don’t always know what to do. But I remember Your goodness and all that You have done. I stretch out my hands to You - my soul longs for You like dry ground. Answer me quickly, Lord; do not hide Your face from me. Show me the way I should go, for I trust in You. Teach me to do Your will, and lead me on level ground by Your Spirit.
