My Simple Prayer

The Lord is  the portion of my inheritance
 and of my cup thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are  fallen unto me in pleasant places
 yea I have a  goodly heritage I will
bless the Lord who has given me counsel
 my reins also  instruct me in the night seasons
I have set the Lord always before me
 because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved
Therfore my heart is glad and my glory rejoiceth
 my flesh shall rest in hope!

"I have set the Lord always before me because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved Therefore, my heart is glad and my glory rejoiceth" - A deep avowal of Faith. I too believe that God is my fort and refuge. Thanks Joyce for visiting my page.
