Psalm 107:1 - O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
This Psalm starts with a reminder to be thankful for what God has done for us. Giving God thanks is not done just to be polite. It’ not a duty or a chore. It is because God, who is above all things, is good and loves us forever even though we don’t deserve it. In all prayers, before making our requests to God, we can put our hearts in the right place first by remembering what God has already done for us. This helps us to see clearly, to see that we can trust God and we can ask for help with a more positive and trusting spirit. Prayer for deliverance and help must start with knowing in your heart that God is all powerful and does all things through us with a love greater than we can imagine. God is the only one who is truly able to help us and deliver us from trouble.
Please know that the Lord of Grace Prayer Team continues to pray over all prayer petitions sent our way, including the requests entered in the prayer journal in the narthex. The Team will also continue to offer individual prayer times after each worship service on the 4th Sunday of each month. We strongly believe in the power of prayer and that a continual connection with our God will keep us all closer to Him.
Remember, God can bring the peace you seek. Seek Him in prayer.
