Glad singing

Lord, you make us very happy because of what you did. I gladly sing about it. ~ Psalm 92:4 (ERV)

Jesus placed his hands on her and she straightened up at once and praised God. ~ Luke 13:13 (CEB)

Lord, I am a lot like the woman that Jesus healed. Although, I am actually still being healed. But I am aware of how broken I am. And I am so grateful for the healing that has already happened. You are a very caring God. I can't fully understand why you care so much. But even with my weak and cracking voice I can sing about your care and praise you. Yes, I will sing when we gather for worship on Sundays. But I'm also going to sing songs that praise you during the rest of the week. When I wake up I'm going to sing. When I am out walking I am going to sing. When I am on my tea break at work I am going to sing. You are worthy of the praise. Amen.

*ABOUT THE
DAILY TEXTS

The Daily Texts have been published by the Moravian Church since 1731. In 2015 I started posting these Bible verses for my spiritual formation students at Pacific Islands University. In the process of responding to the verses, I found the rhythm of looking for a common thread and writing a prayer based on that key idea to be helpful for my own soul.

The prayers are more or less modeled on the TRIP method, which is what I ask my students to do in their journaling. ~ Brad Boydston
