-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 38

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-

Read Psalm 38 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

We praise your name O Lord.  We  confess our iniquity and our sins before you; after all you have even better knowledge of our failures then we do.  Our enemy comes to us claiming that we have no business asking for your help since we have failed you so many times; but you are always faithful to forgive us when we come before you in repentance.

Do not forsake us now O Lord; our nation and people need you more than ever even if they don’t think so.  But rise up with our revival and healing in your wings as you always have in the past.  Meanwhile the church stumbles about in weakness, bring renewed strength to our legs and bones once more and let us stand and worship you once more in the company of believers with joy. Take the fear away and replace it with a strong testimony of your grace; take our doubt away and give us hope once more in the land of the living.

We are confident that we will see you on the throne in your Kingdom because of our faith in your Son Jesus and because of his righteousness and not our own in spite of the doubts the enemy tries to bring before us. But let us feel your presence once more in this life. O my God, be not far from us in our times of difficulty, pandemic, and out of control weather.

Make haste O Lord to help us in the face of the enemy as a testimony against him. Let us rejoice and celebrate your goodness once more with our children and grandchildren.

O Lord, bring us salvation in this life along with the life to come; Bring your Kingdom down in our midst and let us rejoice in your presence and mercy once more; especially in the new year.

In Jesus name, Amen.
