On the first day of 2020 I happened to read Psalm 42:8 which says,
“The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.”
I liked the sentiment and the phrasing of this verse and I soon found myself feeling inspired to write a poem that could incorporate some of the different names of God into it. I love dwelling on just some of the many different aspects of God’s character and so I hope my poem called “A Prayer To The God Of My Life” can help deepen our knowledge and admiration for who God is!
Behold, a prayer to the God of my life,“The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.”

“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!”
