Sing to the Lord, you people! Give praise to him! He saves the lives of people in need. He saves them from the power of sinful people. ~ Jeremiah 20:13 (NIRV)
When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful. ~ Romans 12:12 (NIRV)
Lord,
THANKS: Thank you for saving needy people. There are times when I suffer because of bad people. But I can count on you to make everything right.
REGRETS: I know this to be true. But sometimes I like worrying over my problems. Worrying makes me feel important.
INTERCESSION: Please fill me with the kind of hope and patience that comes from you. And please, I need to get some of it today because I have to deal with some trying people. Maybe such a gift is what will actually save me.
PURPOSE: I going to be joyful and praise you because you save the people who acknowledge their need to be saved.
Amen.
