Join us in today’s devotion and prayer-
Read the Psalm in your favorite version or in the following KJV and then join us in praying below:
116 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16 O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
19 In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord. (KJV)
Our Father,
We praise your name Lord because you have listened to our pleas in the past and have saved us through the mercies extended to us by the sacrifice of your Son Jesus. You are gracious, righteous, and merciful to all those who believe on the name of your Son.
For you have delivered our souls and spirits from sin and death, our eyes from tears, and our feet from falling.
You have said in your Word that the lives of the saints are precious in your sight. We now pray for those who are paying the ultimate price for their faith and their families which are being slaughtered around the world for their faith. Rise up O Lord and bring relief to your servants in the Middle East and in Africa that are being brutally killed and sacrificed because they refuse to convert to a false religion, a false book, and a false prophet.
Let those who survive receive mercy and let the perpetrators find the truth and let them be converted to Jesus to replace those they have killed. Bring revival among the survivors and an awakening to the light and truth among the terrorists who are slaughtering your people. Turn it all upside down on the evil one who is the real enemy.
Meanwhile folks are dying in this nation without Jesus. We seek revival and your word to be spoken and confirmed with signs following and miracles from sea to shining sea.
In Jesus name, Amen.
