Prayer ~ Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD? Who can ever praise him enough? There is joy for those who deal justly with others and always do what is right. Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people; come near and rescue me. Psalm 106:1-4
Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds. Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the LORD. Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him. ... He always stands by his covenant--the commitment he made to a thousand generations. Psalm 105:1-4, 8
Meditate. Sing praises to the Lord.
Praying praise to the Lord is just what He wants. That shows
Him we love Him. A friend of mine recently shared that two years ago she and her husband
started praying together every morning…and sometimes evening—not just at
mealtimes, and they have become so much closer to the Lord and to each other. That
is just what God wants. I know other couples who have that same daily prayer and scripture reading commitment. Such commitments deepen relationships with Him and with those He loves…and
who love Him. Love, that is what life is all about. Praise the Lord!
Since Jerry and I have hit the 50 mark—celebrated our 50th
Wedding Anniversary, you may wonder what our key to a successful marriage is? I
think it is COMMITMENT. There have been times when we have both wanted to throw
in the towel…and just give up—but we made a commitment to each other…and to
God. “I will never leave you or forsake you.” A long marriage is not just about
being “happy.” It is about being content with what you have, making concessions
and confessions as necessary in order to compromise, and of course, commitment.
The big C’s.
