Yom Chamishi, Sixth Month 2, 6006 – August 19, 2021
Gratitude Is My Choice
As I reflect on my life I can see that I let so much of it just happen to me. That was unfortunate. What I want to do and to be is a grateful person. I want to choose gratitude as a way of being. Life can crowd in on me if I let it. I just have to push back to get the place where I can control my life so that I can live every day for YAH! That is my goal. There have been moments and times, and there are moments even now, when I let my emotions carry me away. I am working hard to take control of these and intentionally focus on YAH.

Prayer
Father, I exalt You. You alone are King. I praise You! I praise the name YAHUAH! I praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send me now Your provision. Forgive me my trespasses and transgressions, and help me to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against me YAH. Keep me from temptations here. Deliver me from the evil here and from the evil plans men have for me. I love You YAH! I love You YAH! Let the shalom flow YAH. Let the silver flow. Let the gold bars flow. Let there be a great awakening YAH, and let me serve You well. I love You YAH. I need You YAH! Please keep my family and those I love from harm and despair my King. I love You YAH. I ask all these things of You Father King in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
