"My heart rejoices in You, Lord, for You are my strong shelter in times of trouble and danger and stress, my hiding place to whom I may continually resort ... my Father who lovingly provides for me ... my Shepherd who guides and protects me ... my Champion who upholds my cause as His child and defends my highest interests ... my Bridegroom who delights in me ... my God who is mighty to save, who rests in His love for and rejoices over me with singing, with shouts of joy. You are my inheritance, my share in life, the One who satisfies my longing soul and fills my hungry soul with goodness.
I praise You for Your love and Your wisdom. You are too wise to ever make a mistake, too loving to ever do anything unkind. You act on my behalf, accomplishing what concerns me and fulfilling Your purpose for me as I call on You. Thank You that You love me deeply and tenderly. You are compassionate and gracious, full of lovingkindness, ready to forgive, patiently considerate, and generous beyond imagining. You desire my love and rejoice to do good things for me. You delight to give me the desires of my heart as I delight myself in You. How precious is Your love to me, O God! I sing for joy as I take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!"
- From 31 Days of Praise, Ruth & Warren Myers (emphasis added)

Just was reading another one of your posts and the phrase "too wise to ever make a mistake, too loving to ever do anything unkind" was a part of it. I knew it sounded so familiar, couldn't place it, then I found this post and figured it out. I remember whenever I was reading this book daily and would swing back around to this day's prayer -- "my Champion who upholds my cause" always brought so much hope and was often prayed through tears. You've encouraged me to dust of my copy and bring it back into my daily life. And, your willingness to share your journey, your heart, your life through your lovely words has brought encouragement and life to my heart! Love you, dear friend!!
