I'll Praise You : The Art Of Christian Living

I’ll Praise You

Marie Jeanderine Cook

June 10, 2020

I’ll pour out my heart
Praise you like never before
Though I’m in the midst of the storm
Where my past looked better
And my future boasts of greener grass
Yet, my heart shall praise you
Right in the middle, where I am

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation.” Psalm 43:5

“Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.” Psalm 43:4

“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

Thank you for reading, and may God give your strength to persevere till the end. Happy Wellness Wednesday. Stay Blessed Always.

    Thank you, dear. Great question.
    I mean in the middle of life, and the aches that come with living in this world. Like not being where I used to be but definitely haven’t reach my destination yet.
    
    Also, being the present and be presence.

It’s so good. Yes God will always stay by our side and guide us through good no matter in which circumstances we face or come across. We should only keep faith and hope for the better as it’s just a trail of life
