I can relate, Elizabeth, particularly to your comment about "acclaiming the Lord". It is so often that I limit my praise and thanksgiving to set times or events in my week....church, prayers before meals, etc. I often have my hands and mind at my work before me and my thoughts remain so low, and ultimately so menial. How can I challenge myself to lift my mind and with that my prayers repeatedly or routinely, at least, to express the gratitude and love I have for our God?
