Praying the Power of the Psalms – Psalm 97

blog_prayingthepowerofthepsalms

Day 27 – Psalm 97:10-12

10O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous, and give thanks to His holy name!

Prayer of Reflection:

“O God of my salvation, I want to be holy for You are holy. Search my heart and destroy all evil, rid me of what breaks Your heart. Oh, that I might stand righteous before You.

“Thank you that You have sealed me by the Holy Spirit and will keep me till the day I see You face to face. Oh my soul, how I long for that day and to worship You being sin free!

“My gratitude is to You, my God, who came after me when I walked in darkness, and then You brought to me Your great light. I was dwelling in the shadow death but You reached way down to bring New Birth, and now I am living in the light by the blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who has cleansed me from all sin.

“Father, oh God my Father, may I always remember Your greatness and never ever take You for granted! Now, as I wait for You, even with the evil that is all around me, give to me great portions of Your grace that I may stand steadfast, faithful, and without wavering….no matter the circumstances….in these evil days.

“Make glad my heart, oh God, as I wait and watch for You. All thanksgiving and remembrance to the holy God of heaven and earth, who is still on His throne and in control. I bow at the sound of Your Name! Amen.”

    I pray I always find utter joy at being saved by the blood of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. May I never take my salvation for granted.

    With all that is going on in our world today it is of great comfort to know that we are safe in our Father’s arms. That doesn’t mean that we will come through this life untouched by the evil that is all around us. Not at all. What it does mean is that we will come through the trails of this life to see the glory of our God exalted above all else! And then on that day we will rejoice with Him for all of eternity! Now that is a future worth living for!
