Praying Through: Psalm 33:6

The Psalm

Psalm 33:6 (CSB) The heavens were made by the word of the LORD, and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.

The Prayer

Creator and Redeemer

You are majestic

and altogether mighty.

You alone brought something

out of nothing.
You alone can do that.

When you created me,

you did so from what was created.
Out of dirt.
But you also created me
out of your heart
because of your love for me.
And you created me
out of your begotten
for He was the firstborn
among many brethen.

Because of my sin

I was destined to go back into dirt
apart from you
and under your wrath.

Yet, in your great love,

you predestined me
not to dirt but to life
not apart but to fullness of joy
not under your wrath but under your right hand
with pleasures forevermore.

Amen.
