Part of my 2017 personal mission is accomplished. Knowing that this will be a year of transition and change—and I go kicking and screaming through change—I decided my verse for the year would be Phil 4:6-7: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
As you can see, those catchy two words “with thanksgiving” caught my eye. I’m not to be full of care about change. Rather I’m to pray about it with thanksgiving. To do that, I set out to find some poignant verses from Psalms and put them to music and sing them when I start to get anxious. Even before I get anxious. How about if I sing one every day from the very start and never even get anxious? Would that work?
So on January 1, I started to read carefully through the Psalms in my quiet time—scoping out possible song verses. I just finished Psalms and came up with nine of them. That was part of my goal. Now to sing one every day. I haven’t done that as faithfully as I need to… so I’m going to make that my next morning focus.
I will be sharing some of those song verses with the world after I have my next YouTube party. What is that? Take a look. Below are links to awesome, memorable verses a group of us sang from one of my previous YouTube parties. Nothing fancy, for sure. But I hope you find them helpful. Stay tuned for more to come.
