Psalm 4 - A Psalm of Prasie


Psalm 4 - A Psalm of Praise

God leads His people

He delivers them from trouble.

He is patient

He is full of mercy

He gives life

He protects

He is unfair - he doesn't treat us as we deserve!

Praise the Lord!

He guides us in the paths we should go,

When I am afraid he overwhelms me with his presence

When I lose my way hes is patient and directs me

When darkness overwhelms me,

When danger surrounds me,

You rule still and you are near.

Praise the Lord! He gives breath.

Praise the Lord! He gives food.

Praise the Lord! He loves forever!

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 3

Psalm 3 -

O God You are great like the tiger.

You made all the trees and nuts and berries.

You are worthy of praise.

You made giraffe's necks so long

because you wanted them to eat tall leaves

because you love everything equally.

Thank you for being everywhere, especially during thunderstorms.

And for that we thank you!

Thank you for colors to brighten our day.

You made our family to guide us down the sea of life.

Thank you for the bible and also for bananas in fruit salad.

We love you.

Psalms

I was cleaning my office this week and came across some old messages I shared with the Youth Group in North Vernon. In the middle of some lessons on prayer and the book of Psalms I found some interesting writings.

In one of the lessons I had the teens write out their own Psalms. Each day this week I will be posting a Psalm from the teens in North Vernon. I hope you are encouraged by their prayer and psalms!


Psalm 1 -

God, You're so good!

You made the world and all that's in it

The trees and animals bring us beauty and help us live

You're like an artist that paints the skies

Just so I can marvel and smile :)

You surround us with people that love us

You provided us with houses and TV's and warm beds to sleep in

And more than anything - ya listen!

You hear my prayers and answer them.

You get me through my struggles,

And you help me to grow and find joy in the middle of it

God, You're so good and we praise you!
