-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 40
by Dr. D ~ January 4th, 2022
Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-
Read Psalm 40 and then join us in prayer:
Our Father,
Praise you name Lord, for you have heard our cry and you have set our feet upon the rock. You have delivered us from evil and from our own iniquities; you have placed a new song in our hearts and we lift our hands in joy. For your Son Jesus has come into our lives and has given us purpose and salvation.
By your Holy Spirit, you have written your laws and teachings upon our hearts and we cannot be still but tell everyone about your great deeds and the blessings that you are faithful to give to all believers.
The evil one tries to surround us with his minions and bring us down in this life but you are greater than him and your angels surround our families providing protection.
Those who follow the world and the father of lies do not comprehend the confidence you have given us nor the hope that we have received. We pray for those who do not know you and have no purpose in this life nor any assurance of the life to come. Without your Son Jesus, all have built their lives on sifting sands without hope or direction.
Inspire our voices and give us words to speak to those who do not know you or your Son. May we change the environment wherever we go; let our words be blessed with your Spirit and have affect upon their hearts. May all who seek you find the truth and rejoice and be glad.
Let our lips continually praise you and declare your goodness and greatness; for you are our help and our deliverer and you bless us in good times and in bad. Praise your name Lord and the name of your Son.
And in His name we pray, Amen.
