Psalms 23: Adonai is my Shepherd; I lack nothing You give me my ease in fertile pastures You lead me to drink in tranquil waters You renew my soul You guide me on straight paths as befits Your reputation. Even though I walk through the valley of the deepest darkness, I fear no evil For You are [always] with me. Your comforting rod provides me solace. You prepare a table for me [to eat at ease] in front of my enemies; My head oozes with oil; my cup is overflowing. Surely merciful goodness will be mine throughout my life, And I will always remain in Adonai’s precinct. Psalm 121 I lift up my eyes to the mountains — where does my help come from? My help comes from Adonai who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2) Psalm 118 Adonai is my strength and song; You have become my salvation. (Psalm 118:14) Psalm 30 You turned my mourning into dancing. You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. (Psalm 30:12) A Prayer for Family Health and Well-being Heavenly Father, I lift up the health and well-being of each member of my family. Provide us with the physical, emotional, and spiritual strength to navigate life’s challenges. Spare us, renew us, mend what’s broken, and fill us with vitality. Let our bodies and minds be strong and capable, and let our spirits be peaceful and content. Bless us with health in all aspects of our lives so we can live fully in Your grace. Amen. “It is a tree of life to those who grasp her, and whoever holds on to her is happy.” (Proverbs 3:18) “Happy are those who find wisdom…for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. She is more precious than rubies; All of your goods cannot equal her.” (Proverbs 3:13-15) “A righteous man falls down seven times and gets up.” (Proverbs 24:16) “Just like iron sharpens iron, a man sharpens the wit of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17) “The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but lawlessness covers the mouth of the wicked.” (Proverbs 10:11) Proverbs 31:10-31 What a rare find is a capable wife! Her worth is far beyond that of rubies. Her husband puts his confidence in her, And lacks no good thing. She is good to him, never bad, All the days of her life. She looks for wool and flax, And sets her hand to them with a will. She is like a merchant fleet, Bringing her food from afar. She rises while it is still night, And supplies provisions for her household, The daily fare of her maids. She sets her mind on an estate and acquires it; She plants a vineyard by her own labors. She girds herself with strength, it. “And exerts her arms.”And performs her tasks with vigor. She sees it. “tastes.” that her business thrives; Her lamp never goes out at night. She sets her hand to the distaff; Her fingers work the spindle. She gives generously to the poor; Her hands are stretched out to the needy. She is not worried for her household because of snow, For her whole household is dressed in crimson. She makes covers for herself; Her clothing is linen and purple. Her husband is prominent in the gates, As he sits among the elders of the land. She makes cloth and sells it, And offers a girdle to the merchant. She is clothed with strength and splendor; She looks to the future cheerfully. Her mouth is full of wisdom, Her tongue with kindly teaching. She oversees the activities of her household And never eats the bread of idleness. Her children declare her happy; Her husband praises her, “Many women have done well, But you surpass them all.” Grace is deceptive, Beauty is illusory; It is for her fear of the LORD That a woman is to be praised. Extol her for the fruit of her hand, And let her works praise her in the gates. I love you Mama, we will see again ♥️
