Experiencing God In Psalm 103

Counting Your Blessings (Aug 7)

In Psalm 103, the psalmist urges
you to count your blessings. And
Psalm 98-102 provide plenty of
ideas to help you do just that by
focusing on the many things for
which you should be thankful:
your salvation (Ps 98) answered
prayer (Ps 99), God’s Goodness and
Mercy (Ps 100), God’s justice and
holiness (Ps 101) and God’s care
when you are downcast (Ps 102).

Lord, You Bless Your People:
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and
Forget Not All His Benefits – who
forgives all your sins and heals
all your diseases… who satisfies
your desires with Good things
so that your youth is renewed like
the eagles (Ps 103:2-5). The Lord
is Merciful & Gracious, slow to
anger & abounding in mercy (v8).
The Lord is like a father to his
children, tender & Compassionate
to those who fear Him. For He
knows how weak we are (v13-14).

Lord, You are worthy of praise,
for You do countless Good things
for Your children. Forgive us for
the times we fail to acknowledge
Your many blessings in our lives.
Forgiveness, healing, rescue,
love and mercy, You indeed fill our lives with undeserved blessings.
Teach us Lord the wonderful habit
of counting our blessings. Amen.

Lord, You are Merciful & Gracious,
full of unfailing love. I ask You to
reveal this in my life in these days.
Grateful for revealing Your wondrous
attributes to me in Your Word.
As I read it, continually open my
eyes to who You really are so that
my prayers will rest on the solid
foundation of Your character.
And may my prayers have power
because they are based on
the truth about You Lord. Amen

Lord, in Your mercy, do not leave
us exposed to lack or danger.
Remember we are weak and
we can get easily discouraged.
Please do not test us too long,
beyond what we are able to bear.
Instead encourage us with ready
manifestation of Your presence.
Strengthen us in the spirit when
we are deeply discouraged. And
Help us see Your Compassion and
loving kindness toward us. Amen.
