Heroes Seeking Victory

 
Can you be an overcomer without enduring adversity?
Can you be a victor without fighting a battle?
Can you achieve without attempting success and risking failure?

Finding Comfort and Hope in Psalm 103

This morning I sought comfort from God and one of my favorite psalms of all time, Psalm 103.  My prayers and needs prompted me to create a new personal version of Psalm 103:

Praise the LORD GOD, oh my soul,
and forget not all his benefits and sovereignty
Praise the LORD GOD, oh  my soul,
who forgives all my failures and heals all my dis-eases

The Lord God redeems my life from the pits of sorrow, pain, and despair
And crowns me with all-encompassing love and compassion
God satisfies my desires with the better things he has ordained for me
So that I am strengthened and my faith is renewed
Praise the LORD GOD, oh my soul,
and forget not all his benefit and sovereignty
