I am up early this morning praising God! I will share the experience in a later post. In the meantime, I thank God for being the keeper of my soul and the sustainer of my life! Hallelujah, thank you, Jesus!
I rejoice in God’s faithfulness in my life. I can state without fear of contradiction that God is good despite the hardships I have faced and the deaths of family members.
I end this post with the lyrics of a song I’m listening to while lying in my bed. Make it a priority to go to church in the morning and give God His due praise for all that He has done in your life.
I’ve got so much to thank God for
So many wonderful blessings and so many open doors
A brand new mercy
Along with each new day
That’s why I praise You
And for this, I give You praise
For waking me up this morning
That’s why I praise You
For starting me on my way
That’s why I praise You
For letting me see the sunshine of a brand new day
A brand new mercy along with each new day
That’s why I praise You
For this, I give You praise
You’re Jehovah Jireh
That’s why I praise You
You’ve been my provider
That’s why I praise You
So many times You met my need, So many times You rescued me
That’s why I praise You
I wanna thank You for the blessings You give to me each day
That’s why I praise You
For this, I give You praise
For every mountain You brought me over
For every trial you’ve seen me through
For every blessing
Hallelujah, for this, I give You praise

Grateful for the Prayers
I’m taking this time to thank everyone for your prayers and phone calls checking on me. You have showered me with love and for that I am thankful.
The Bible instructs us to, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16 KJV)
The Lord is moving mightily in my life in response to the intercessory prayer that’s gone forth on my behalf! Thank you, Lord, for being the keeper of my soul and the sustainer of my life!
Thank you to family and friends who cared for me and reminded me that I am never alone. Thank you, Lord, for making a way out of no way and opening doors that no one can shut!
Thank you that no weapon that is formed against me shall prosper. Thank you for keeping my mind stayed on the Lord. Hey, glory to your name, you alone are worthy of all the praise! There is none other like you.
Thank you that despite all we experience in this fallen world, “I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.”(Romans 8:38 NLT) Hallelujah, thanks be unto God who gives us the victory through Christ Jesus!
🙏👏🙌🔥
Sincerely,

A Greatful Heart Filled with Praise
Thank everyone, for your kind and caring words regarding the fire in my apartment. Reading your heartfelt responses blessed me more than you realize.
I am doing well and continue thanking God for being the keeper and sustainer of my life! Those words are not spiritual rhetoric, used to generate an emotional response. I mean every word with my whole heart. I thank the Lord for how He keeps on keeping me safe in His loving arms.
The longer I stay with the Lord, the more I become convinced that no weapon that is formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17)
By the grace of God, I am becoming fully persuaded that God has the power to do what He has promised. (Romans 4:21). OMG, let me preach to myself.
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:37-39 NIV).
In the words of Dr.Gina M. Stewart, I’m not finished so I’m just going to quit. Glory, glory, glory! Hallelujah, thank you, Lord, for protecting me from dangers seen and unseen. Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness.
“Great is Thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness. Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.”
