Read the Psalm in your favorite version or in the following KJV and then join us in praying below:
Zayin
49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and have comforted myself.
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
55 I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night, and have kept thy law.
56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. (KJV)
Our Father,
Your Word has given us hope in this life; and through your Son Jesus we have hope in the life to come. We are living in times where Christians are suffering death and persecution for their faith around the world and we are thankful that in this country we are only being made fun of and marginalized by the main stream media and dominant culture.
We sometime react in indignation to the falling of our culture and nation into darkness away from the light of your teachings and Kingdom. We cry out now for our people; let revival begin among those called by the name of your Son and spread from sea to shining sea while there is yet day.
Bring a new awakening to your church and servants. Let your Kingdom come down in our midst and let your Holy Spirit inspire us to go forth with renewed vigor and make new disciples in this nation and among every people and tongue.
Let the church rise up from its slumber and shake off the persecution and humiliation to once again become the shining light and beacon set upon a hill that we are called to be. Let miracles, healings, and signs wake up the nations to the teaching and good news of your coming Kingdom.
In Jesus name, Amen.
