Forgive Us Lord

How many of us truly enter into His courts with thanksgiving?
Do we enter His courts with praise?
And most of all do we do it on a daily basis?

I'm guilty of not doing it. I, like so many of us, just seem to get caught up
in the here and now of everyday things and take God for granted.

I wish I could say it would never happen again, but all I can truly say is
that I will strive to do better and try to get my priorities right.

Forgive me Lord for being self-centered and focusing on other things rather
than You.

Help me to remember what Psalm 100 says:

"Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we
ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise,
be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures
to all generations."

Blessings my friends,
Shifra
