The approaching darkness out the window signaled an end of my work day, but the subject line of yet one more email caught my attention. I was not prepared for what followed.
Sitting at my antique desk, right before my 21st century computer, this Young Mom’s Psalm brought me into the Presence of God. I read the content. Then, I paused—and once more—reread the composition from her heart. Like David of old, she lifted my gaze from the here-and-now to the broad bandwidth of Jehovah as she declared who He is and what He will do.
This worship-filled psalmist is more than just a young woman; she is a treasured member of my family. With her permission, her private prayer of praise now launches as a public declaration of His glory.
A Young Mom’s Psalm
I will make myself SPEAK PRAISE; BLESSING is RELEASED in PRAISE.
I declare PRAISE for what YOU WILL DO.
I declare your GOODNESS in EVERY SITUATION before I arrive in it.
You are HEALING me before I am sick, in Jesus Name.
You RESTORE me before I am broken.
You MOVE mountains I don’t know are ahead.
You CONSUME my life when I try to push you out.
You give me STRENGTH before I know I need it.
You RESCUE my children before I know they need to be rescued.
I PRAISE you for the storm you will make CALM.
I PRAISE you for every failure.
I PRAISE you for every VICTORY.
I PRAISE you for EVERY SECOND of LIFE; it is a BLESSING.
