Pray with me October 18, 2026 O Lord, my God, how great is Your name in all the earth! Before the mountains were formed, You were God. Before the seas found their boundaries, Your throne was established. Before my first breath, You knew my name, and before my feet found their way, Your mercy had already gone before me. Who is like You, O Lord? Who can measure Your wisdom or exhaust Your goodness? The heavens declare Your glory, the thunder announces Your power, and the morning light bears witness to Your faithfulness. Yet You, who command the stars, incline Your ear to the whisper of Your children. When my strength was gone, You sustained me. When my heart was troubled, You became my peace. When darkness surrounded me, Your Word was a lamp beneath my feet, and Your presence was the light that darkness could not overcome. I will praise You, not only for what Your hands have given, but for who You are. For You are holy when the world is corrupt. You are faithful when men are faithless. You are righteous when justice is forgotten, and You are merciful when sinners cry out for grace. Your goodness is not diminished by my suffering, nor is Your sovereignty shaken by the storms of this life. Though the earth trembles, You remain my refuge. Though kingdoms rise and fall, Your throne endures forever. Though my flesh grows weary, Your strength is made perfect in weakness. Let my mouth never grow silent with praise. Let my heart never become so familiar with Your blessings that I forget the One from whom they flow. I will bless You in the morning when hope is renewed. I will worship You in the evening when the burdens of the day are laid down. In the midnight hour, when answers are few and tears are many, I will still declare that You are good. For Your steadfast love is better than life, Your mercy is new every morning, and Your faithfulness reaches beyond the heavens. Let everything within me magnify the Lord! Let my victories bring You glory, my trials deepen my trust, my words proclaim Your truth, and my days bear witness to Your grace. And when my earthly song is finished, when my final breath has passed from these lips, let my praise continue in the presence of the One who redeemed my soul. For You alone are worthy. You were worthy yesterday. You are worthy today. You shall be worthy throughout all generations. Blessed be the name of the Lord, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen.
