Psalms 103:1-5 “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.”
David figured out how to have a heart of praise and thanksgiving for the Creator; similarly, we need to have an attitude of praise and thanksgiving for our God, who is able to provide all of our needs. Yes, you face a number of difficulties that trouble you and torment your heart and soul, but the solution to all of that is to have a grateful heart and give thanks to your God. Don't just be grateful to God because he has done something for you, but have a life of praise and thanks to your God whether you have earned it or not. That is why David said "O my soul, praise the Lord." Yes, all that is in me Praised his holy name." Make sure your thoughts, words, actions and behavior praise the Lord's name.
The way for you to get out of challenges, troubles, problems, need and poverty that bother you is not to talk about the things that bother you, no! But you put them aside and you send a heart of praise and gratitude to the one who can fight with what bothers you.
If you want heaven to deal with your problem, have a heart of gratitude to your God for what you want him to do for you and not explain the problems and problems that bother you.
CONFESSION: Oh my Lord, many things torment me, but I will accompany you who can do more than what torments and bothers me; I and all that is within me will praise your name, you who can do more than what I think.
