-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 102

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-

Read Psalm 102 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

You are enthroned forever and remembered by all generations. The appointed time will soon come when you have pity on the ruins of Zion. For your ancient people of favor cry out from her destroyed stone walls, for another people have built upon Solomon’s  foundations. But you have said in your Word that the Messiah of Israel would one day rule from that very spot.

One day, and maybe soon many nations will attack the people of Israel who you raised up from the dust of persecution and made a nation once more. Your Word proclaims that you will protect them from destruction. We cry unto you for your mercy to be upon that people; let them come to the truth of their Messiah and know the salvation of your Son Jesus while there is yet day.

When all who attack this ancient people are defeated; when the Muslim nations, and those who support them, who want to annihilate the Jewish country fail; then the nations will fear the name of the Lord and your power and glory once more.

For the Lord himself will build up Zion and one day the Messiah will appear there in his glory and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to your glory forever. And your law will go forth from Jerusalem. Healing and prosperity will flow to the nations of the world from your Holy mountain and then the earth will find peace and finally be free indeed.

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of your hands. It all may pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end.  Then you have said in your Word that you would bring forth a new heaven and a new earth and the promises of your Kingdom are sure for your servants and their children forever. As believers in your Son Jesus we have been adopted into your family and into this ancient people for all eternity.

Let your Word go forth now to every nation and people; let the gospel of your Kingdom be proclaimed in every tongue; bring forth a great harvest of believers before the great day of the appearing of your Son Jesus in the clouds. Let your church rise up and fulfill its destiny while there is yet day; let your people demonstrate the works and miracles of Jesus in this generation confirming your Word and promises while there is yet day.

In Jesus name, Amen.
