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:
Qoph
145 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes.
146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
148 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment.
150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151 Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. (KJV)
Our Father,
We call to you for help; save us O Lord. Your servants and church are now subjected to persecution all around the world. Thousands who bare the name of your Son are now being killed every year; we are in a new age of martyrs.
You are always near us, O Lord, and all of your commandments and Words are true. But in our land your Word is now being disregarded by many of our judges and many call your teaching and commandments as evil while many things that are against your commandments are now called good and right. So many live far from your law and the evil one is calling for the church and Christian institutions to be persecuted until they reject your clear teaching of the law and Word in the Bible.
But your Word is also full of testimonies of your goodness and miracles in past generations. Bring forth those same signs and wonders, miracles and healing, in this generation proving the truth of your Word and bring revival across this whole land from sea to shining sea.
Let the church rise up as never before and fulfill its destiny taking your Word not only to this nation but to every country, people, and tongue. Let your people overcome the evil one and his minions with your demonstrated love in contrast to the hate the evil ones sponsor. Let your people be victorious before that great day when your Son comes again in the clouds.
In Jesus name, Amen.
