To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
Psalm 116:17

Giving thanks to the Lord transforms me from being self-centered to being God-centered. Calling on the name of the Lord reminds me Who is in charge.

Today I will cultivate a practice of giving thanks to God for everything, the pleasant and the difficult. I will call on the Lord to guide me into the healing light of compassion.

Call on the Lord

I call on the name of the Lord. Psalm 116:13b

No matter what is happening in the world, in my country, in my community, in my personal life: God is in charge.

Today I will remember to keep God in the center of my life. I will call on the Lord when I am experiencing stress, confusion, or pain. I will remember to thank God for God’s unfailing presence.
