-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 9

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-

Read Psalm 9 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Praise your name Lord for we are thankful for all of the wonderful things that you have done in our lives, in our homes, and in our land.

You have blessed our nation and made us preeminent in war and peace and brought wealth and security to our land. Now our people are turning away from you and terror and strife is striking in our cities and our weather is bringing on major calamities. The wall of protection that was once around our people is crumbling and yet they continue to turn away.

Lord bring revival and a new awakening to our land and people once more. Let your Spirit and justice prevail in our nation and let the racial strife between people cease. Let your churches unify in prayer to keep our enemies from prevailing over us and changing our nation from a people under God to one which seeks the bidding of the evil one.

Praise your name and the name of your Son Jesus. Thanks for being the stronghold that we can rely on in our times of trouble and difficulty.

Let your justice and wisdom reign and influence the rulers and nations of the whole earth. Let those who do evil be judged in this world and your Kingdom to come.

Let there be hope for the needy and let those who know your name reach out to the poor and the hungry. Let the authorities which stand in the way of relief for the poor fall and receive no mercy for their evil actions.

Let your Kingdom come and let the promised benefits of your Kingdom  become a reality on this earth—health, justice, and prosperity. It all will be fulfilled when your Son Jesus comes again—come, Lord Jesus , come.

Let your word continue to go forth and let the peoples of the whole earth respond to your love that was extended and sent to us in the life and ministry of your Son who died for all for all time and eternity.

Praise your name Father and the name of your Son Jesus for all that you have done for us in the past and for what you will do in the future. Hear our prayers O Lord.

In Jesus name, Amen.
