Anyone like me? For decades, maybe my whole life, I have had to depend on God and His Love and Care. And I have many, many memories of how He has done it for me. Us. My world. Our world.

But this time? Lots of things needing help:  political unrest, world in crises, pandemic, people with troubles. Lots of them. Will God come through this time? We have a tendency to wonder.

"Lord, with all my heart I thank you.
I will sing praise before the armies of angels.
I face your Temple as I worship,
giving thanks to for all your lovingkindness
and your faithfulness,
for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. When I pray, you answer me by giving me the strength I need."

~ Psalm 138:1 - 3 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Thanksgiving should be an integral part of our lives. This theme is woven throughout the psalms. As we thank God for material and spiritual blessings, we should also thank him for answered prayers. Remember when you asked God for protection, strength, comfort, patience, love, or others special needs and he supplied them? Beware of taking God's provisions and answered prayer for granted."
