Prayer and praise journey

Psalm 104
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul.

O LORD my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment;

he stretches out the heavens like a tent

3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.

He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes winds his messengers,

flames of fire his servants.

5 He set the earth on its foundations;

it can never be moved.

6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 But at your rebuke the waters fled,

at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;

8 they flowed over the mountains,

they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned for them.

9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;

never again will they cover the earth.

10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines;

it flows between the mountains.

11 They give water to all the beasts of the field;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the air nest by the waters;

they sing among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;

the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,

and plants for man to cultivate—
bringing forth food from the earth:

15 wine that gladdens the heart of man,

oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart.

16 The trees of the LORD are well watered,

the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17 There the birds make their nests;

the stork has its home in the pine trees.

18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;

the crags are a refuge for the coneys.

19 The moon marks off the seasons,

and the sun knows when to go down.

20 You bring darkness, it becomes night,

and all the beasts of the forest prowl.

21 The lions roar for their prey

and seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, and they steal away;

they return and lie down in their dens.

23 Then man goes out to his work,

to his labor until evening.

24 How many are your works, O L
ORD!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 104: 1-24 lifts up praise to God for the marvellous things he made. After you are finished reading these verses, write out your own prayer of praise for the things listed there that God created.

it's such an iddylic picture. quite soothing and perfect. God really is amazing isn't he. why did we have to muck it all up and live in sin? there would be need for anything apart from praise and worship if we didn't sin....sigh. thank you God for creating the beauty creatures and the land, for the heavens and for the earth. thank you that you are will be have your will be done on this earth as in heaven. thank you for the sunshine cuz it brings light and warmth. thank you for the rain, even though i don't really like it that much (it's chucking it down now) but we need rain. for all good things comes from you. how is possible for you to plan out so many things? and so perfectly in so much detail

因主的名
造物主,今高唱你名字:和平之君,得勝者。
地上古今的君王,也折服於你面前。

造物主,今高唱你名字:全能之主,安慰者。
全憑主恩典憐憫,令我滿心溫暖!

全因主的聖名,勞苦可得安靜;行走於孤單困惑裡面有主傾聽。
全因主的聖名,愁心可得歡樂;祈禱的必得勝,我以性命來做證!
