May Your Work in Us Help Others Believe and Follow You

Day 115:  Psalms 40: 3

            Psalm 40:3 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.

            As David prayed in the last Psalm that he would not be brought down or humiliated due to his own sin and due to the Lord’s glory, so here on the opposite side he prays, praises, rejoices, and asks that his redemption, his deliverance will cause others to see and glorify the Lord.

            In the sweet times of refreshing, You cause us to rejoice. You cause us to know that our sin is forgiven, and the consequences of the fall are removed from us for a season until Christ returns when there will be no more sin of any kind remaining. O come quickly, Lord Jesus.

            But for now, You have given us seasons of refreshing, seasons of rejoicing. You have prepared a banquet for us in the presence of our enemies. We rejoice in You, our God and Creator, Our Maker, Our Father, Redeemer and Friend.  You have turned our mourning into dancing.

            May others see Your work of grace in and through us and join us in knowing You , loving You, praising You, and serving You forever. In Jesus ’Name alone, Amen!

Jesus Christ brought me to Himself at a very early age. I began seeking the Lord and writing prayer journals in my early teens and have continued to grow in my knowledge and experience of prayer. I am still learning and growing in my prayer life and long to help others grow in their prayer lives as well. I am not an expert, but a practitioner who needs God to continue to teach me to pray. Prayer is both simple, yet also profound. It is deep and draws us into the depth of God, but it is also so easy and wondrous that we can cry out to God with "Abba, Father" prayers because of the work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Prayer comes from God's heart, works in our hearts, and teaches us to go back to seek God's heart!
