Something written and emailed by Shirley Choat:
 
"Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being,
praise His holy name.
Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits.
He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases."
~ Psalm 103:1-3
 
    David's praise focused on God's glorious deeds. It is easy to complain about life, but David's list gives us plenty for which to praise God, He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from death, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desire, and gives righteousness and justice. We receive all of these without deserving any of them. 
    Dear Friends, no matter how difficult your life's journey, you can always count your blessings, past, present, and future. When you feel as though you have nothing for which to praise God, read David's list.
 
There is a healing at the fountain,
Come behold the crimson tide,
Flowing down from Calvary's mountain
Where the prince of Glory died.
 
"LORD Our God, we thank You for allowing us to experience Your power. We thank You that we need not be occupied with material things only. We thank You that Your Spirit comes to our aid again and again. Grant that we may continue to have Your help, and let many hearts find what a grace it is that in spirit we may walk in heaven, even during this transitory life with all its foolish ways. Guide us that we may say with complete assurance that everything tormenting and burdening will pass by. We want to go joyfully and confidently toward Your kingdom, which continually gains in power. In Jesus' name, Amen."
