While God is worthy of praise because he his holy and >majestic and mighty, we have even greater reasons to praise him. He >has bee so very gracious to us! > >MY PRAYER... >Holy and loving Father, I praise you for your gift of creation. I >praise you for your love in granting us free will to accept or >reject you. I praise you for choosing Abraham to be the beginning of >faith and a people through whom Jesus would come. I praise you for >sending Jesus. I praise you for providing the sacrifice for my sins. >I praise you for raising him from the dead and triumphing over sin >and death. I praise you for those who shared the Gospel of your >grace with me. I praise You for what you are doing through me and >for me. I praise You for what you are about to do and yet remains >enshrouded in mystery to me. I praise because you are Almighty God >who has chosen to be my Abba Father. Through Jesus Christ my Lord, I >praise you. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of >HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/pzignkz_nurnzb.html>http://www.heartlight.org >----------- >The NIV Daily Verse is provided by ><http://www.crosswalkmail.com/gszjtkd_nurnzb.html>http://www.zondervan.com > >* Copyright 2005 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers. >All rights reserved. ~~~~ Alan & Ruth Anne Wheeler <da2ofus@...> Proud owners of the following lists: Ladies Fellowship, LF Newsletter, Bread of Life, Christian Drummer and swgCares at: <www.associate.com> The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
