Praise Jesus

Though you slay me yet I will praise you
You gave me this life, a precious, precious gift
I am so unworthy of Your blessings Lord Jesus
Holy Spirit, make me whole, uplift my spirit to praise You
Give me boldness to bless the name of my creator
Forgive my doubts, sins, and weakness
Lord you give to the grass, birds, and the earth creatures
Their needs for the day lord...
Bless my family and those who read this poem
Give me strength for my daily tasks
Hold me close to your chest, I need You!!
Praise Jesus!!

What a wonderful, uplifting prayer to read on this Sunday morning, Doris! Just what I needed! The first line is my favorite...reminds me of the book of Job and his great faith - Tim

We spend so much time asking God for things, but often fail to offer thanks or praise. This is an important reminder and I hope people will take the message to heart, Doris. Love, Carolyn
