“Bless the Lord, O my soul . . . and forget none of His 6enefits; Who pardons all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit; Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.”

I am awed by God’s total redemption – spiritual, physical, and emotional. I know it will take time, but I can be assured that God’s lovingkindness and compassion will never leave me, and that as Paul says in Philippians 1:6, “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

DEAR FATHER, I DO BLESS YOUR HOLY NAME. BECAUSE OF YOU, MY SINS ARE FORGIVEN, MY SOUL IS HEALED, AND I KNOW I WILL LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER. YOU WILL CONTINUALLY SHOW YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS AND COMPASSION TO ME, SO THAT EVEN AS I GROW OLD IN BODY, MY SPIRIT WILL SOAR LIKE A YOUNG EAGLE. I WILL CONTINUALLY BLESS AND PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME WITH ALL MY HEART. AMEN.
