12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love
and passion. Hope without thankfulness is
lacking in fine perception. Faith without
thankfulness lacks strength and foritude.
Every virtue divorced from thamkfilness is
maimed and limps along the spiritual road.
John Henry Jowett

1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
2Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak;
O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3My soul also is greatly troubled;
But You, O LORD--how long?


4Return, O LORD, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!
5For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?


6I am weary with my groaning;
All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
7My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.


8Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.
9The LORD has heard my supplication;
The LORD will receive my prayer.
10Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled;
Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.

Prayer covers the whole of a man's life. There
is no thought, feeling, yearning, or desire,
however low, trifling, or vulgar we may deem
it, which, if it affects our real interest or
happiness, we may not lay before God and
be sure of sympathy. His nature is such that
our often coming does not tire him. The
whole burden of the whole life of every man
may be rolled on to God and not weary him,
though it has wearied the man.
Henry Ward Beecher

32So be very careful to act exactly as GOD commands you. Don't veer off to the right or the left. 33Walk straight down the road GOD commands so that you'll have a good life and live a long time in the land that you're about to possess.
