Praying Through: Psalm 33:12

The Psalm

Psalm 33:12 (CSB) Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD— the people he has chosen to be his own possession!

The Prayer

Reigning King

We read in your word

where you have called a tiny nation
unto you
to carry out your promises
to established your covenants.

Perhaps for a moment

this nation would worship you
praise you
and love you.

But not even a generation would pass

before they worship other gods
distrust you
and fall far away from you.

That is just like any of us

that is just like me
I have cling to other idols
I have not given you a second thought
I have hated you.

So Lord,

save me
keep me
call upon me
to preach to nations
call them to repent
and turn their hearts towards you.

For one day,

all the nations will cease to rage
and they will worship you
because you are on your throne

Oh, King of kings Oh my Lord of Lords Blessed be your glorious name.
