My Psalm 211
Almighty God, Everlasting Lord, King of the Universe,
I praise You this Lord’s Day for Your very presence
Every moment of every day and night,
And the joy of my salvation as Your child.
Thank You for Your hedge of protection,
For being the Rock of my Salvation
And my Eternal Hope.
Thank You for Your guidance for my family
And most recently for two friends I have entrusted to Your care.
I thank You for establishing new homes,
I thank You for creating new horizons where there was no hope.
I thank You for provision of the very basics: food, shelter, health
And for adding the blessings of joy through suffering and pain,
That this life is but temporary, and these life-tragedies are but delays
Until we are united in Your heavenly halls
Where Light shines eternally and tears are wiped away.
I rejoice that Your people are gathering, even this moment,
All around Your world to worship You in spirit and in truth.
From steamy jungles to storefronts,
From forest campsites to vast cathedrals
Voices raise in adoration and praise to Our Eternal God.
I pray for our pastors, priests, laymen, and all worshippers
That Your Spirit will enliven, enrich, encourage, and magnify our worship.
I pray that the Word of truth will be spoken, sung, and prayed,
That every soul will find reverence, refreshment, and revival
And that where men are silent, all of creation will cry out to praise Your Name.
As dew, raindrops, and torrents bring Your blessing to a world
Which so needs cleansing and new growth,
Encourage us this day, that we may see signs of Your blessings
In the little things, and in the giant miraculous blessings You provide.
Fill us with Your Presence, this day, ‘til our very souls utter what we cannot perfectly speak:
“Hallelujah, Lord of All, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Amen!”
