I will praise You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. I will be filled with joy because of You. I will sing praises to Your name, O Most High. My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when You appeared. For You have judged in my favor; from Your throne You have judged with fairness. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; You have erased their names forever. The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities You uprooted are now forgotten. But the Lord reigns forever, executing judgment from His throne. He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness. The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for You. [Psalm 9:1-10]
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore, I tell
you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” I will love the Lord my God with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind and with all my strength. Therefore, I will come boldly to the throne of grace, that I may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. I pray that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which He has called me. Finally, I will be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. For my struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. [Mark 11:22-26; Mark 12:30; Hebrews 4:16; Ephesians 1:18; Ephesians 6:10; Ephesians 6:18; Ephesians 6:12]
I will continue to cry out to You and seek You daily, so that I may learn, hear, and know that You are my God. Amen.
