Weekly Prayer Point

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.” Psalm 103:2-5 (NKJV) It’s easy to think of material blessings, and we should thank God for them. The most important blessings are spiritual. Take time, especially this week, to thank the Lord for our spiritual blessings as well.
