Praying Through: Psalm 67
The Psalm
Psalm 67 (CSB)
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.1 May God be gracious to us and bless us; may he make his face shine upon us Selah
2 so that your way may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise you, God; let all the peoples praise you.
4 Let the nations rejoice and shout for joy, for you judge the peoples with fairness and lead the nations on earth. Selah
5 Let the peoples praise you, God, let all the peoples praise you.
6 The earth has produced its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.
7 God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him.
The Prayer
I will never stop
- writing words
- sing songs
- mulling thoughts
- sleeping in my dreams
- reading books
- dwelling in your word
- filled with your Spirit
- to try do my best
- to express the grace
- that you have drowned me in
- lavished upon my life
- that is more than all the riches in the world
- more than the deepest minds
- the greatest wisdom
- all the love
- all of everything.
Your grace
- is more than my pain
- my despair
- my deceit
- my hurts
- my wounds
- my brokenness
- my trauma
- the sin committed against me
- the sin I have committed against others
- all the evil in this world.
Your grace
- was fulfilled
- perfect
- complete
- totality
- definite
- found in your Son
- Jesus Christ.
Now I am saved
Now I am yours
Now you are mine
Your presence is forever with me
- and I am forever in your grasp
- No one can ever remove me
- nothing can ever separate us
- nothing can come between us.
Your grace
- is worth more
- than anything I ever had in this world
- and the best of anything I have ever lost.
You found me
- and now I have everything
- because I have you
- You are my heart and my love and joy forever.
Amen.
