Psalms 27,42&30

You, oh Lord, are my light and my salvation. You are the stronghold of my life; my heart shall not fear. I believe that I shall dwell in your house, father, all the days of my life; that I will gaze upon your beauty and inquire in your temple.  You hide me in your shelter. Thank you, oh Lord.

I am strong and take courage in you, Lord.  I wait upon you with reverence and trust. As the deer pants for the water so my soul longs for you, God, my father.   I sing praises to you, Lord, and give thanks to you for who you are and for your steadfast love for me.

Sometimes, in this fleshly era there may be hard times and sorrow; weeping may tarry for the night but joy comes with the morning. Thank you, father, for your mercy and for your divine help.  You turn my mourning into dancing; you loose me from sack cloth and clothe me with gladness.  You are my glory, and I sing your praises. You, oh Lord, are my God and, in Christ, I give thanks to you forever.
