What are the ways the Savior blesses you today?
"I Know That My Redeemer Lives
Peacefully
1.I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.
2.He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
3.He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.
4.He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”

Psalm 104:33–34" (Hymn #136 I Know That My Redeemer Lives)

The Savior is blessing me today in so many ways. First of all, He's blessing me with my breath-lending me breath from one moment to another, daily. I'm so grateful for the power He's been giving my body to breath air, in and out, doing wonders in every part of my body, allowing me to continue to live on this earth. I'm so grateful that He's imparting me all blessings that I need. Everything that I need He's been providing. I'm so grateful that He silences all my fears and calms my heart when it is troubled. If I just keep looking unto Him in every thought as I keep doing all I can, I know everything will be alright. He will give me the blessings that I'm asking and longing for according to His will. If it's His will to give me the exact blessings I am asking or not, it's up to Him. I just know that He is giving me blessings no matter what. So, I choose to continue to do my part because I know His promise is real--"Ask and it shall be given unto you."
