Hello all! Hope all is well!

The Lord and I have been through a lot these last few days, and I thank the Lord so greatly for it.

The Lord really helped me today, and I wanted to share that with you all!

Psalm 59:16-17

"But I will sing of thy power; yea I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy"

I sing aloud to You, my Lord.

Lord, I love You, and thank You.

You have been my defense and my refuge in my day of trouble; today.

Today Lord, I fell and wandered off Lord

But Lord, You were there for me

Thank You Lord

You placed a song in my heart, "Deliver Us", and You did deliver me

You also reminded me that he who is unjust in the least is also unjust in much

I saw that today Lord

I saw how a "little sin" drew me out further and further

You also say he who is faithful in the least is faithful in much

The first time You helped me by placing a verse in my mind

I didnt listen, and walked further

The second time You helped me by placing a song in my heart

I didnt listen, and walked further

But You were still there for me

Thank You Lord

You helped me a third time

And Lord, You gave me exactly what I needed to hear

Thank You Lord for all You told me

Thank You Lord for reminding me

Thank You Lord for being there for me several times

Thank You Lord for helping me all those times

You didnt give up on me

Thank You Lord

Thank You Lord for helping me to turn to You

Thank You Lord!

You helped me, all the way, and gave me a way of escape

Lord, my God, You ARE my way of escape

All glory, all praise is Yours

I am unworthy of You, but thank You for cleanning me of ALL my unrighteousness. ALL of it

Thank You

You are my LORD

You were and ARE my defense and refuge

I was tempted and wandered off

You helped me all the way through

You defended me, and when I turned to You

You gave me refuge

You held me with Your arms like You said You would

You fed me, like You said, with Your love and righteousness

And You are gently leading me, just like You said You would

Thank You LORD!

Thank You Lord for Your love

I am undeserving, but thank You Lord that You are not asking me to be deserving

All You are asking is for me to follow You.

All You are asking is for me to be new in You

And You welcome me with open arms to follow You and be new in You

Thank You

Thank You Lord for Your love, kindness, grace, and mercy

Thank You Lord for YOU!

I will sing of thy power, and thy love

Thank You Lord

I love You Lord

You are my defense, and the God of my mercy

Thank You Lord for all Your love

Thank You Lord for You

You knew I would wander off this morning

But I thank You Lord for allowing the opportunity for me to see what would I do in the midst of my sin

Will I go to You, or keep going astray?

Lord, I came to You, BUT ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

Its all because of what YOU did that I went to You

Its all YOUR righteousness

I have no righteousness

All my righteousness is of YOU, not me

Thank You Lord for helping me

Thank You Lord for being there for eme

And that Lord, is what scares me

What if You arent there one day?

I'll go all the way off without You

But thank You Lord that You ARE faithful to Your Word

You are faithful to NEVER leave me, NOR forsake me

You are faithful Lord

Lord, You WILL be there in my day of trouble

You WILL be my defense and refuge

You will be these things becasue You ARE these things and You ARE faithful to Your word and to all who wait on You

You were there for me

You were my defense and my refuge in my day of trouble

Thank You Lord for Your faithfulness!

Thank You Lord!

You are the Lord God Almighty

You are the Lord, my Lord

My Father, Savior, and Teacher

You are the Lord, my God

Thank You Lord!

"Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense. The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our sheild" - Psalm 59:9-11

Thank You Lord for not slaying my enemy, lest I forget the power of Your love, mercy, and strength

Thank You Lord for helping me to remember the power of Your love, mercy, and strength

Thank You Lord for being there for me

Thank You Lord for being my sheild

Thank You Lord for scattering my enemy

Thank You Lord for You

Thank You Lord

With all this, the Lord helped me to realize that no matter what I am feeling, no matter how tired I am, no matter what, go to Him

I was REALLY tired this morning, but that doesnt matter

Whenever I am tempted, no matter what is happening, what I am feeling, no matter what, I need to go to the Lord

I have no choice

The Lord is the way, the truth, and the life
