Bless the Lord , O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord , O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
Psalms 103:1-3 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/psa.103.1-3.ESV
“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord , O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! Bless the Lord , all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! Bless the Lord , all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord , O my soul!”

A prayer:
Holy Spirit, today I lay down my life as a living offering. I choose to come into your word no matter the cost. I lay my feelings down, past, present and future and I choose to make you Lord of my life. I choose your JOY! Even in suffering I choose to go low, empty myself of everything and rejoice! I need you Holy Spirit. I cry out to you today for your heart and very life to live in me. 2 Corinthians 13:5 New International Version (NIV)
“5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?”
“I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.”

I love the passage from Philippians where Paul is sharing his heart and choosing thanksgiving even while being locked up in prision! I have alot to learn still. Holy Spirit give me that heart that praises you no matter what. That sees Christ working in every circumstance. Please forgive me where I lose track of your goodness in trials. I need you!
