Psalm 107:10-16
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.
Praise You, Lord, thank You, my Savior for You have lifted me out of darkness and the shadow of death, You have burst my bonds and brought me out into Your glorious presence. Life in the Kingdom is now my right and inheritance.
Lord, I pray for the same gift for family, friends and neighbors. I pray that Your power and love will use me to carry the message of hope to all.
