The Psalm
Psalm 37 (CSB)
1 Do not be agitated by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.
2 For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender green plants.
The Prayer
My Only Source
What is our lives, O Lord
that we would be counted as precious
that you would be mindful of us
that you would set your affections upon us
that you would give your grace to us
and you would want to cherish us?
But Lord,
we are here for a moment
our lives are but a blink
your word says,
like dew on grass
until the early morning sun
scorches the fields
and burns us all away.
Lord,
keep my mind on these things
that what I might do here
will give you eternal glory.
Let wait upon your words
so I might only prophesy
and build up your church.
Let my hands and feet
run after
those in need
and serve according to your will.
Let me only herald
the eternal kingdom
of the Son of David
and evangelize till the end of the earth
"The Kingdom of God is here!"
Help me not waste one second of my life
but give you eternal glory.
I pray this in your Son's precious and holy name forever.
Amen.
