May God remember your every offering, graciously accept your holocaust, grant what is in your heart, fulfill your every plan. May we shout for joy at your victory, raise the banners in the name of our God. The LORD grant your every prayer! Now I know victory is given to the anointed of the LORD. God will answer him from the holy heavens with a strong arm that brings victory. Some rely on chariots, others on horses, but we on the name of the LORD our God. They collapse and fall, but we stand strong and firm.

This is a psalm of jubilation my Beloved. Grant that this will be my prayer at the close of this day. Amen.

My Beloved Jesus, I thank You for my life and all that has ocurred in it from the moment of my conception to this present moment. It is pure grace and love that has led me to the place where I now find myself. Continue my God to be with me until the end of my life's journey.

I wait for you, O LORD; I lift up my soul to my God. In you I trust; do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me. No one is disgraced who waits for you, but only those who lightly break faith.

Make known to me your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior. For you I wait all the long day, because of your goodness, LORD. Remember your compassion and love, O LORD; for they are ages old. Remember no more the sins of my youth; remember me only in light of your love. Good and upright is the LORD, who shows sinners the way, guides the humble rightly, and teaches the humble the way. All the paths of the LORD are faithful love toward those who honor the covenant demands. For the sake of your name, LORD, pardon my guilt, though it is great. Who are those who fear the LORD? God shows them the way to choose. They live well and prosper, and their descendants inherit the land. The counsel of the LORD belongs to the faithful; the covenant instructs them. My eyes are ever upon the LORD, who frees my feet from the snare. Look upon me, have pity on me, for I am alone and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart; bring me out of my distress. Put an end to my affliction and suffering; take away all my sins. See how many are my enemies, see how fiercely they hate me.

Preserve my life and rescue me; do not let me be disgraced, for I trust in you. Let honesty and virtue preserve me; I wait for you, O LORD.

Redeem Israel, God, from all its distress!

Tobit 12:6-9

Raphael called the two men aside privately and said to them: "Thank God! Give him the praise and the glory. Before all the living, acknowledge the many good things he has done for you, by blessing and extolling his name in song. Before all men, honor and proclaim God's deeds, and do not be slack in praising him. A king's secret it is prudent to keep, but the works of God are to be declared and made known. Praise them with due honor. Do good, and evil will not find its way to you. Prayer and fasting are good, but better than either is almsgiving accompanied by righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than abundance with wickedness. It is better to give alms than to store up gold; for almsgiving saves one from death and expiates every sin. Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full life.

My Beloved, You remind me in these verses to thank God and give Him all the glory for the marvellous things He has done and is doing for me. You also remind me to do good, to fast and to give alms and to live a just life.

I hear the different sounds of the birds as they sing their morning praise to You along with the sweet sounds, I can hear the harsh and unlovely cawing of the crow but it is Your creature too and it is praising You according to its nature and so it is pleasing to You. May my praise, love and adoration be pleasing to You too, my King.

And you will be nursed and carried in her arms and fondled upon her lap. As a son comforted by his mother, so will I comfort you. At the sight of this, your heart will rejoice; like grass your bones will flourish. For it shall be known that Yahweh's hand is with His servant.

Have I not proclaimed and foretold this long ago? You are my witnesses; Is there a God besides me or another Rock? I would know him.

*****

My beloved Jesus, looking at the past is futile, we become immobile - a pillar of salt like Lot's wife. You want me to keep my gaze fixed on the goal and to move in faith, hope and love. You who created me will lead me, for You have made me for Yourself. You knew me in my mother's womb and You will help me. You will give me all I need to become what You have destined me to be. You end with a note of assurance for You know how weak I am and so You say, "Do not be afraid or be troubled." Thank You my Jesus.

Psalm 43 :

Verse 2 You are my God, my stronghold.

Verse 3 Send forth Your light and Your truth; let them be my guide, let them take me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You reside.

Verse 5 Why are you so downcast my soul, why are you so troubled within me? Hope in God, for again I will praise Him - my Savior and my God.

Truly my God, if You be for me who can be against me? With You at my side I need fear nothing. Your strength, Your goodness, Your kindness and Your mercy, You gladly and willingly show me despite the fact that I am a sinner and underserving of Your love. I want to show You I love You by trusting You and putting all my faith in You through all the circumstances of my life.

Matthew 8:23-26

And when He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. A gale arose on the lake, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He was asleep. And they went and woke Him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ And He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith?’ Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm.

My Jesus, as long as You are in the boat of my life I need not fear no matter how difficult my circumstances or the troubles that assail. It does not matter even if it seems You are asleep as long as Your Presence is there within me for I know that at any time You can command and quell all the disturbances in my life. I trust You and I thank You Jesus.
