A Prayer Of Remembrance Of Who God Is So Our Hearts May Be Encouraged To Walk In The Path Set Before Us Today (Psalm 18:16-36)

I thank you Lord, for being a God who sees us, who is looking upon us and intervening and giving aide and instruction always.  You are faithful, blameless and pure in your holiness.  When our hearts are humble before you, you are there to raise us up and save us from whatever we may be in or that lies before us and sometimes behind us.  You are the only true source of light in the darkness.  It is you who helps keeps the light of truth, the light of hope, the light of peace shinning in our hearts and lives when the darkness of struggles, hurts, discontentment, or frustration seeks to settle into our hearts and blind us from seeing and experiencing you.  It is you Lord who enables us with strength and the ability to fight against the enemy, to advance and not remain stagnant and stuck.  You equip us to succeed in things we did not think we were capable of doing.  Your way is perfect and flawless even when we can't always understand it or it seems a hard path to take.  When we see you for who you are, when we trust you in who you have proven yourself to be, you become a shield of protection for us, there is none other, none like you Lord.  In that place of safety we are able to find the strength to walk or perhaps run on paths you have set before us.  In that place of safety we are able to see that the path unknown before us is a perfect path in which you will be with us every step of the way.  You give us all we need to endure, thrive, grow, and emerge victorious.  You are not a God who merely puts up with us but you are our God, our Father who delights in us.  What a blessing to know that when we need you, when we seek you, we do not seek a God who begrudgingly steps into our lives but we seek you, our God and Father, who takes pleasure in being with us always and helping us along every tiny or big step we take on the perfect path you have set before us.  There truly is none other like you and our hearts are full and blessed to ponder these things today.  May we not forget, may we not be distracted from seeing and remembering these things, may we not question if they are truths for us but may your spirit fill us and remind us continually who you are, always, no matter what we may do or think.

AMEN
