What a blessed start to this day. I SLEPT. Of course I had my moments of awakening during the night as I always do, but I went back to sleep and didn’t get up until 6:20 am. Yesterday I had this overwhelming sense to give thanks and today has been exactly the same. So, the day started with thanks for letting this body sleep so long!

Yesterday, after church, I went to see my prayer warrior Lois. I never want to burden her staying too long, but when I left I looked at my watch and I’d been there 2 hours and 5 minutes. It seemed we had SO MUCH to talk about. She deeply prays for those I counsel and have troubled spirits. These individuals all know I have a prayer warrior who prays for them and they have given their permission for me to give Lois their names.

In giving thanks as is so deeply on my heart and mind, I have this strong assurance in the strength of God’s power. There is nothing that is too messy or too awful for God. I’ve had the times in my life when I could not give the deserving Praise to God (or so I thought I couldn’t). Today I am helping others see that God is worthy of our praise regardless of the circumstances staring in their faces. There is a HOPE in praise that is not found any other place. Only when taking the risk to PRAISE will this promise be discovered. GOD is AMAZINGLY GOOD!
