I will bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. Psalm 16: 7-8 NLT

These are such comforting words! What if you were able to memorize these two verses? Then whenever you feel fear or discomfort, when things seem to be getting to you or even when things are going well in your life, you can pray these verses out loud.

I will bless the Lord who guides me. Sounds funny to be blessing God. Shouldn't God bless me? But blessing is reciprocal and God wants us to bless him.

Even at night my heart instructs me. Even when I am asleep, I shall do the right thing. My dreams will also be blessed.

I know the Lord is always with me. We say this but we don't act like it sometimes. We act more like God has left us.

I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. I will stick to my convictions because God sticks to me.

Will you pray this prayer out loud today?

I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. Amen.
