Global Day of Prayer
Young Life Kenema - Sierra Leone.
Day 4. October 7th
Psalm 125, Psalm 126.
Psalm 125
1. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
2. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.
3. The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for the righteous might become entangled in wickedness.
4. Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts.
5. But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel [1].
Psalm 126
1. When the Lord restored the exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream come true.
2. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."
3. The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
4. Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev.
5. Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
6. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
My Prayer for us all:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for your protection and provision. You surround us with your presence, just like the mountains surround Jerusalem. We trust in your goodness and sovereignty, knowing that you do good to those who are upright in heart. Restore our joy and fortunes, Lord, like streams in the desert. May we sow seeds of righteousness and reap a harvest of joy. Bless us with your presence and peace, and may our lives be a testimony to your greatness.
Amen!
