Forever Good, Forever Loving



Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
    His faithful love endures forever.

—Psalm 118:1 (NLT)                                      
 


Good and Faithfully Loving LORD,


I offer my heartfelt thanks to You today, LORD, because You are always good to me and Your constant and faithful love for me knows no end!


Help me to cherish and hold in my heart all those times when I see so clearly the blessings that You have lavished on me—out of Your goodness and immeasurable love for me.

When things seem dark along the path You have me walking down, help me to realize, how limited my perspective is when compared to Your limitless knowledge and wisdom.

And help me to trust that just because I don’t see Your unfailing goodness in every moment I may find myself, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t there—just waiting for me to discover it.

Remind me to look back over my life to see how Your faithful love for me has always brought good out of my deepest trials—so that I might be encouraged even as I face the trials I find in each new day.

Help me to discover that simply keeping a grateful heart towards You brings about good things in my life.

And when I feel so undeserving of Your goodness and Your faithful love, remind me that Your love for me is not determined by what I do—that there is nothing that I can say or do that would ever change it.


I offer my heartfelt thanks to You today, LORD, because You are always good to me and Your constant and faithful love for me knows no end!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
