"I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps."
[Thank You Heavenly Father for hearing our feeble prayers. It's not our prayers, but it's who is answering our prayers - YOU - that is making them powerful and effective.]
"He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord."
[Thank You Heavenly Father that in the midst of trials and bad news, You give us songs - even new songs - songs that bring praise to You. People take note of this kind of faith and know that is not from human sources but from You, and they want to trust in You too.]
"Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”
[Praise You Heavenly Father that You replace darkness with light. The darkness has no power over us thanks to You. We get to enjoy and participate in Your WONDERFUL WORKS.]
"I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness in the great assembly; indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O Lord, You Yourself know. I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly."
[By Your grace Heavenly Father, by Your grace Heavenly Father, we are declaring Your faithfulness and Your salvation. We are shouting about Your lovingkindness and Your truth to large gatherings.]
"Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord; let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me."
[For this success to continue, O Lord, we need Your tender mercies. Please preserve this movement of praise and proclamation via Your lovingkindness and truth.]
"Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; let such as love Your salvation say continually, 'The Lord be magnified!'”
[Yes, Heavenly Father, our ultimate goal is to magnify You and turn people to faith in You so they too experience Your salvation, Your protection, Your provision and Your blessings. This we pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.]
Psalm 40:1-5, 9-11, 16
