Full Restoration:

                             "Also the Lord restored the prosperity of Job, after he had prayed for his friends; the Lord even gave to Job twice as much as he had before." (Job 42.10)

                                    "And I will  repay you for the years which the locust has eaten...you shall eat and be filled, and shall praise the name of the Lord, your God, because he has dealt wondrously with you." (Joel 2.25-26)

Today Lord I want to thank you for all your lavish blessings bestowed upon me. There have been times when I was robbed of my peace and joy due to anxiety and distress. It may have been an undue concern over  finances or the sudden loss of a loved one. Yes, there were times when I fretted over past faults and failures. As I share the burdens of my heart, I sense your presence. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your good spirit guide me on level ground. For your name's sake, O Lord, preserve me; in your justice free me from distress, and in your kindness destroy my enemies; bring to nought all my foes, for I am your servant.
