I waited patiently for the Lord; And He reached down to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud; And He set my feet on a rock, making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the Lord. How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who become involved in falsehood. Many, Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is no one to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count. You have not desired sacrifice and meal offering; You have opened my ears; You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.Then I said, “Behold, I have come;It is written of me in the scroll of the book. I delight to do Your will, my God; Your Law is within my heart.” I have proclaimed good news of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, Lord, You know. I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your mercy and Your truth from the great congregation. -Psalms 40 1-10-
I used a psalms tonight for the daily prayer thread. This one felt very appropriate for the group. Love you all.

Amen. Slechta would you please pray for me? I'm dealing with multiple losses (deaths) of people and pets over the past two weeks. I appreciate it. My name is Mary.
Aww fren I'm so sorry to hear. Yes I will absolutely keep you in my prayers. That can't be easy. I am here if u need a fren to vent to. Sorry the last couple weeks have been so rough. I love u Mary
How r u doing today fren. U have been on my heart today
I'm doing okay, thanks for asking. Last night was rough because my cat that died unexpectedly always slept by my pillow. The relative who died, also unexpectedly, thankfully other relatives are stepping up to handle her affairs. Hope all is well with you.
Aww that's really hard. I couldn't even imagine. My dog is getting older and I am not gonna handle things well when God decides to bring him to heaven.
That's good people are stepping up to help. Definitely helps the situation a little. Though that stuff is never easy. God bless u fren. Thanks for consistently reading the prayer threads and responding. You have been a blessing to me and I am thankful.
Another messianic prophecy psalm, seems like, evoking Luke 4.
Then I said, “Behold, I have come;It is written of me in the scroll of the book. I delight to do Your will, my God; Your Law is within my heart.” I have proclaimed good news of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, Lord, You know. I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your mercy and Your truth from the great congregation.
And foreshadowing the Great Commission, to spread the good news. Nice choice.
Wow great add on my fren. Thanks for sharing. God bless u
