Psalm 103

Today’s reading is my favourite Psalm; it just has everything in it. “Praise my soul and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all our sins and heals all your diseases". Wow how amazing is that, we have a God who redeems our life from the pit and crowns us with Love and Compassion. Who is compassionate and gracious and slow to anger, abounding in Love.

Thank you Lord for saving me and for all that you have done for me.

Held by God

As I try to live with a knowledge of God’s presence with me an image that helps me is being held in God’s hands.  In prayer we give ourselves afresh to God and place ourselves in his hands: our hopes and fears, responsibilities and needs, our hearts and emotions, everything.  I love the sense of peace and joy that comes as I thank God that I am held by him and he is with me in all that I am facing.  As always better pray-ers and wiser people have explained this much better than I can -
