Simple Things

On days when there is a need for comfort (like waking up to SNOW!) thinking of the simple things can be helpful. Sitting and enjoying my morning coffee as I gaze into the woods in my back yard, for example. Watching someone working diligently in what others would consider work beneath their stature, and smiling. Or saying something positive to a stranger as you walk by and seeing their countenance light up. These are all things that are simple, yet comforting. For me, often the same can be said for a time of prayer and praise in the morning, especially accompanied by reading scriptures.

Psalms 145:1 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.
6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
