Build a Relationship With Godનમૂનો

“I love you, Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold”. (Psalm 18:1-2)
Let’s follow David’s example and make his prayer our own. Complete the following prayer with your expression of who God is to you and what He has done for you:
‘I love you, Lord, my strength. You are my:

You have done these amazing things for me:
