-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 97

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-

Read Psalm 97 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

You reign and the whole earth rejoices; righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. The mountains melt like wax before you; the heavens proclaim your righteousness, and all the peoples see your glory in creation. For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth; you are exalted far above all else.

You have promised to preserve the lives of your saints and have promised joy and the abundant life for those who believe in your Son Jesus. Let all who have faith in the Lord rejoice and reject the spirit of fear and hate in the midst of sickness, war, pandemic and chaos. Nevertheless, we come to you in prayer for those who are called by the name of your Son Jesus and are currently suffering injustices and persecution. We know that they are preserved for all eternity in the life to come but we cry out for your justice and mercy to come forth for these believers and for their children in this life.

Let your light shine and revival come to our land; and let the truth be known in the midst of darkness and hate. Let your Kingdom come and let your true Word be preached and demonstrated in the streets and in our neighborhoods and families. Authorities have come against the churches and closed them down while protesters were allowed to continue and casinos were considered essential. Let your churches rise up and fulfill their destiny in this land.

We pray now for our enemies and those who come against the church; that they will come to the truth and the true light of the Lord Jesus Christ while there is yet day: We want to see Sauls turned into Pauls in Jesus name.

In Jesus name, Amen.
