Praying Through: Psalm 33:7

The Psalm

Psalm 33:7 (CSB) He gathers the water of the sea into a heap; he puts the depths into storehouses.

The Prayer

The galaxies fall right into the palm of your hand,

• the universe are in your grasp
• the stars are named by you
• Jupiter is but a little toy to you
• the sun is pinched between your finger and thumb

We have been here for the length of the creation

• and yet we do not know the depths of the oceans
• we are powerless to gather up a ocean wave

But you, my Lord,

• gathered all the material plane
• at your mere fingertips.

And you alone, my Lord,

• gathered my stony heart
• tossed to the infinite east-west
• Grabbed into your chest
• ripped your heart out
• by sending your Son
• to live and die
• and place that love
• placed into my chest
• just to give me life.

Blessed be your wonderful name.
