Prayer

May these words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart

be pleasing in your sight,

Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

These words from Psalm 19 are a part of my daily prayers and have been for many years. I have yet to realize a day of perfecting the prayer. There are too many thoughts and too many words. Not all of them repent and get baptized. 

Thank God for mercy and grace! From that platform of security and acceptance–found in Christ–I can focus on progress in a process of being shaped into the image of Jesus. Words and their use are one of the key indicators of how it’s going. 

I get to begin a new day with joy, praying the same prayer and having the same goal. Will you join me?
