Just want to Praise God in front of you...

My last post, were recent thoughts after coming across this again in my bible. It is sweet to remember His (God's) Work!! The words and dates in blue print, are what I wrote in my Bible at those times, beside the word's of this Psalm...it just fit where I was.

My hope, is that if this encourages just one then, it is good!


Psalm 143 - A psalm of David.

.........11/6/99 exactly how I feel and where I am!

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord;
listen to my plea!
Answer me because you are faithful and righteous.
2 Don’t bring your servant to trial, ...all my sin...
Compared to you, no one is perfect
My enemy has chased me. (me and my mind--wrong thinking)
He has knocked me to the ground
He forces me to live in darkness like
those in the grave. (in regard to my own thinking)
4 I am losing all hope; I am paralyzed with fear. (2 years –10/99 not only 2 yrs.) but admitting it here...outloud--like God didn't already know it, but I believe He continues to allow it so that I will finally choose to believe His truth.)
5 I remember the days of old. Much better 01/20/04--I'm not boasting about myself, but giving ALL praise to God for His work!
I ponder all your great works ...... I have remembered…I remember each and every day 11/99 and think about what you have done.
6 I lift my hands to you in prayer.
I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain.
7 Come quickly, Lord, and answer me,
for my depression deepens. (I am so depressed)
Don’t turn away from me, or I will die.
8 Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you. ...I want to trust you!! 11/99...I wrote it big and bold in my bible, I sincerely wanted to TRUST what He said. (that means I didn't at the time, I sort of did, but that wasn't enough, but God was still gracious and patient to wait while I got it, no I didn't arrive, but trusted Him more than before!!
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; ...my thinking, lies that I am believing...I know now I needed to believe His truth, but wasn't yet...another step
I run to you to hide me.
10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.

May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.
11 For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life.
Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress. I wrote…I
have been in my “self-righteousness for so long” 10/99 ...at least He revealed it, I'm grateful...
12 In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies
and destroy all my foes, …still really haven’t gone anywhere… 4/12/00...I am sure He is working, but didn't "feel " like I had gone anywhere.
for I am your servant.

…looking back “Oh yes” YOU have… 8/2001

8/2005-
God you’re doing great in me, Praise YOU! ...REMEMBER I'M PRAISING HIM!!

NO credit to me, only to my Father in Heaven and I praise Him for it!!
I am so thankful He has taught me, that HIS WORD IS TRUE, TRUE,
SO Absolutely TRUE!! 05/3/09

Just wanted to Praise Him in front of you.
