Lord Jesus, thank You for calling me by name to come out of the darkness, up from the pit, and into your marvelous light. Thank You for allowing me to see what life is like walking among your benefits, crowned with your steadfast love and mercy. Thank You for invigorating my steps with youthful exuberance. Lead me on in your way, Lord. I pray in your name and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalm 103: 1-5 ESV)
