I Long for You my God

O God, you are my God, and I long for you
My whole being desires you,
Like a dry, worn-out and waterless land
My soul is thirsty for you.

Let me see you in the sanctuary
Let me see how mighty and glorious you are.
Your constant love is better than life itself
And so I will praise you.

I will give you thanks as long as I live
I will raise my hands to you in prayer
My soul will feast and be satisfied
And I will sing glad songs of praise to you.

As I lie in bed, I remember you
All night long I think of you
Because you have always been my help
In the shadow of your wings I sing for joy
I cling to you, and your hands keep me safe

--------Psalms 63-------

People work hard day and night just to be able to get all these things. This ends up draining them and causing sleepless nights. They worry all the time about new projects to take up and the progress of the ones they are doing. The book of Ecclesiastes 5:10,12 talks says. "If you love money, you will never be satisfied. If you long to be rich, you will never get all you want. It is useless...Workers may or may not have enough to eat, but at least they can get a good night's sleep. The rich, however, have so much that they stay awake worrying." This does not mean that being rich is bad or a sin. Rather, God requires us to be satisfied with what we have and not complain all the time about what we are lacking. He wants us to appreciate what He has given us and use ...

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

I thank you Lord with all my heart, I sing praise to you before the gods. I face your holy temple, Bow down and praise your name, Because of your constant love and faithfulness, Because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme. You answered me when I called to you, With your strength you strengthened me. Even though you are so high above, You care for the lowly, And the proud cannot hide from you. When I am sorrounded by troubles, You keep me safe. You oppose my angry enemies And save me by your power. You will do everything you have promised, Lord, your love is eternal. Complete the work that you have begun. Psalms 138
