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:
66 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
2 Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name.
Selah.
5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves.
Selah.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.
Selah.
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. (KJV)
Our Father,
We shout for joy to you O Lord; We sing about your glory and praise your name before all the earth. How awesome are your deeds and how great is your power over all creation!
All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; We sing praises to your Son and thanks to your Holy Spirit. We publish your name before a disbelieving world and say: Come and see what God has done; see the awesome deeds he still does for all who believe on his name and accept his Son Jesus. Thanks for continuing to confirm your word O Lord to a new generation.
In the past y0u turned the sea into dry land; and all Israel passed through the river on dry land and the people rejoiced. Many claim that the record of your great deeds of the past are but myths but you continue to do miracles and healings in our midst and the scriptures of old come alive before our very eyes.
The greatest miracles of all are the changed lives of those who accept your Son and the vision and hope all believers receive for this life and the life to come.
You have truly listened to our prayers in the past. Praise your name. Now please listen to our cries before you now. Our nation is falling away and so many say there is no God or purpose in creation. Rise up O Lord and demonstrate your mighty works and mighty miracles once more and bring revival to a land slipping away into darkness.
Let your light shine and scatter the darkness of the evil one and his minions and captive servants.Let your church rise up and see its finest hour. Let all of your people be moved to seek your face. Help us repent of our lukewarm attitudes and become your faithful servants as never before.
In Jesus name, Amen.
