No place I’d rather be

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” (Psalm 84:10)

Lord, there’s no place I’d rather be than here with you, covered by your grace and love. ‘Home’ is wherever you are, Lord Jesus, and you have granted me entry into your royal courts; made me a part of your family. Thank you for carrying this weary wanderer back. One day with you is better than a thousand days outside your heavenly walls. In you I discover the kind of freedom, purpose and joy that nothing in the world can match. Thank you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

* Today marks the first in a series of blog entries which include a bible verse or quote, and a simple, personal prayer to follow. Praying you’ll be blessed by these.

    Thank you so much Ali, for this beautiful ministry! Your Jesus heart is showing. Going to add the song to go with this verse, if that’s okay. God bless you bunches!

      Thanks for your encouragement Debbie! I’m glad. It’s a wonderful verse isn’t it, and thanks so much for sharing the song. I just spent some time listening to it and it was so good to let it soak in and allow the verses to minister further to me 🙂

    When I saw the Psalm referenced, I immediately thought of a worship song sang in church – Debbie posted it 🙂 Beautiful prayer. I’m looking forward to reading your series!
