My source

Lord , today I come before you to give thanks ! I want to thank you for being with me in my darkest hour. I have been delivered from the pit of hell. I have been raised from the dead. I was walking and talking but my life no longer was filled with joy or hope. I had become a dead man walking and then Lord you let me fall even further. You Lord let my body fall apart and when it seemed I was to lose it all you put me in the belly of the whale and there I sat till I heard from heaven and was retored. I am nothing without You oh Lord my God. I am fully aware that You are my shelter and my dwelling place. You allowed me to fall so that I might have to look up for my help. You took away all those I have depended on and even my own ability so that I might see where my true help comes from. You allowed the body of Christ to lift me up in prayer when I no longer could pray for myself. You let Your pepole do for me what I did not have the presence of mind to do for myself, they prayed and You heard their cries. Thank Lord ofr the faithfulness of the church.
You oh Lord God have become my shade from the scorching sun and you are my cool water. You have placed in me faith and hope and love. You Lord give me strength when I have none. I will follow you all the days of my life my hope is in You and You alone. You make my days beautiful. You make me see light in the darkness. You give me words of encouragement when I am afraid. I will trust You Lord even in my darkest days and I will encourage others to do the same. I will have faith that you can use me each and every day of my life, even till I draw my last breath. You take the ashes of my life and make something beautiful. I sing to the Lord a song of amazing grace because You have been faithful to put it in my heart. God is my source and strength and I am His and I will dwell in His presence all the days of my life !
