In God Whose Word I Praise In God I Trust And Am Not Afraid, The power of His love is the power of my soul and I shall follow Him. Wherever I go and whatever I do will always be because He sent me. Without His guidance, I am adrift in a sea of discontent. To you my Lord I lift up my heart...

In The Morning I Lay My Requests Before You And Wait Expectantly, I don't know if there is any significance to doing that in the morning; perhaps it was typical for the psalmist. Any time of the day is a good time for prayer. Personally I do it first thing in the morning before my mind has...

So We May Rejoice And Be Glad Always, So as the psalmist first points to the Lord how angry He was at His people, they are now beginning to feel His love. I believe we have our dry seasons and our fertile ones. For the most part we really accept and rejoice in the Lord but then there are...
