section that follows the teaching summarizes what Derek has taught
with a prayer and proclamation related to the day’s topic. You will
notice that each prayer begins with an expression of thanks to God.
Along with Derek’s amazing teaching gift, one of the traits we most
admired about him was his constant attitude of thanksgiving. At many
of his teaching sessions, Derek would close his message by asking the
audience to wait upon the Lord in silence. During those moments, it
was very common to hear Derek uttering over and over again, “Thank
You, Lord. Thank You, Jesus. Oh, we thank You, Lord.” Derek was a
thankful man, and the prayers reflect that fact.</span></b></font></font></p>

scriptural example of the usefulness of repetition is found in Psalm
