A Prayer<\/h3>\n

based on Psalm 103:1-5<\/em><\/p>\n

Come!
\nCome praise the eternal God!
\nLet all that is within us \u2014
\nbody, emotions, mind, and will \u2014
\npraise God\u2019s holy name!<\/p>\n

Despite our failures, He forgives and releases us.
\nMore than any doctor, He heals our diseases.
\nWhen we are famished and weak,
\nHe fills us with good and beautiful things,
\nsatisfying our needs,
\nand restoring our strength.<\/p>\n

So come!
\nCome, praise the eternal God!
\nSing songs from a grateful heart,
\nand remember all that He has done for us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
