“ ‘I love You [fervently and devotedly], O Lord, my strength.’ The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me; My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower—my stronghold.”
Psalms 18:1-2 AMP

Lord, thank You for the wonder of creation. I especially love water. I love the sound of waves crashing at the beach, the trickling of a creek, and the sound of a river rushing over rocks. Even a sound machine with replicated ocean noises is amazing. The water sounds are so soothing. I am instantly at peace when I sit and listen. I am so distract-able, though, I don’t sit still for long. I have to go and get in the water and be a part of it.
Water plays a large role in one of the Christian sacraments, or sacred moments – baptism. When people are baptized, they are united with the catholic, or worldwide, church. Water is administered by pouring, sprinkling, or being immersed in water. Lord, when You wanted people to join with You and Your mission, You sent them to water. Even in the Old Testament, You wanted people to cleanse themselves before they entered the temple. Water must be important to You, too.
Thank You for the water I drink to stay alive. Thank You for the baptismal water that was used to mark my relationship with You. But, most of all, I thank You for the water that I see in nature. It truly refreshes my soul. Amen
