Psalm 146

1 Chapter: Psalm 146

1 Verse:
Verse 5. How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God.

1 Prayer: Father, You are our help. You are the one we are looking to and trusting in. You are the one we cry out to when it seems all hope is lost. We hope in You. And that makes us blessed. That makes all the difference. Apart from You there is no hope, there is little we can do. But with You, You say we can do all things for nothing is impossible with God. Well, sometimes it seems like what we're asking for is the impossible. Sometimes it seems like what we're asking for should be the simplest thing in the world. Either way, we are asking You because we know that all good things -- large or small, possible or impossible -- come from You. Help me to bask in my blessedness today. The blessing is not in having the things I hope for or the help I need, but in having the Helper in whom I hope for those things. Forgive me for sometimes wishing I had the other things instead. You are my portion forever. I love You.
