ADORATION (v.1-2)

Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man
 deliver me! 2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

O God, defender of my cause and deliver. You’re a God in who I take refuge and who sees the oppression of your people. Your reign forever, and you’re the most powerful God in the universe. The power of your Word is active and instant. When I pray, it is with that power and authority that was given to us by faith.

CONFESSION (v.3-4)

 Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! 4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.

Let us praise your name daily and let your light and truth guide our steps. Forgive our iniquities that our soul may be well with You. Like Martha, our mind is preoccupied with preparation, but let us be at your feet and nearer you like Mary. My unceasing thoughts are upon return, O my King, do not delay. Like many, I want to pour my richest possession at your feet because your love is the most significant thing that counts to me.

THANKSGIVING (v.5)

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

O God, my hope and salvation. You gave us a taste of joy, grandeur, and an impossible reconciliation with my husband. You renewed our hearts to love one another again, and we both knew it was because of You who interceded in our lives. I thank you for my children, our Christian friends, and our churches for not bowing to Babylon’s oppression. Keep us safe and faithful to You, O Lord, and let no trials of our life bring us to despair beyond our strength.

SUPPLICATION

Let’s pray for our family, neighbours, coworkers, lost daughters and sons, and for our nations.

Let’s go, Pray!
