Good morning, Jesus.
Thankful You are our good Shepherd, faithfully loving and caring for Your own. After carrying us through our dark times, You refresh and restore our souls as we feast at Your bountiful table of blessings. While our hungry souls find unexplainable peace in Your presence, Your blessings do not cease. Reclining at Your table, You anoint my head with oil (Psalm 23:5), as a reminder You have given us the oil of gladness instead of mourning (Isaiah 61:3). Although we remember the difficulties and heartaches we may have experienced in the dark valley, Your oil of gladness—the Holy Spirit, restores our soul and replaces the pain of those troubling times with Your peace. The pain of those memories no longer affects our spirit, no longer defines who we are, or who we were. Your anointing our head with oil commissions us to share Your message of salvation and deliverance to those who find themselves hopelessly mired in dark valleys in this broken world.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation as we turn from our sinful ways and return to You, Lord God. Let Your peace rule in our hearts.
Thankful the jar of Your oil of gladness never runs dry. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
THANKFUL
