Lord, You pulled me out of the pit of abuse and depression to walk my ending days in the light of your love. I am eternally grateful. Help me to share the encouragement You bring among the circle of my influence. As Jabez prayed, increase my territory for your glory. I bring my praise in your name above all names, in your authority above any other, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.'” (2 Samuel 7:8 ESV)
