Because you inhabit my praise and thanksgiving, Lord, I know I can always draw near to you there. (Ps 22:3) Because it is your will, I know you desire intimacy with me and that this intimacy brings you glory. (1 Thes 5:18) You have made the two become one.

Because I can praise your rich blessings even if I find myself in darkness or pain, I am never alone and never desolate. (Ps 139:8) It is you who causes my heart to keep beating, you who breathes life into my nostrils each moment, and you who gives me all good things and makes my life have meaning and purpose.

Who else would I go to, Lord, when you alone speak the words of eternal life. (John 6:68) Who have I in heaven but you, Jesus, and what better can I hope to find down here on earth. (Ps 73:25) #JesusCalling.
