"How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts! My soul longs, yes faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God" (v.1-2)

Let Your Comfort Strengthen me

O Lord, my God and King, hear my prayer and be kind to Your servant. Let me dwell in Your tent forever. Keep our churches open so that we may have fellowship with other believers. Purify our churches from wickedness and impurity of body and mind that we have allowed among genuine believers by wanting to blend with the unbelievers who love and worship worldly gods.

"Blessed are those whoe strenght is in You. (v5) in whose heart are set on King of Zion. Let my voice sing praise to Your name."

“Glorious Trinity, impress the gospel on my soul, unti its virtue diffuses every facluty! Let it be heard, acknowledged, professed, felt” Help me to give up every darling lust, to submit heart and life to its command. Tak me to the cross to seek glory from its infamay. Strip me of every pleasing pretense of righteousness by my own doing” ~ Exerpt from the Valley of Vision

O God, gracious Redeemer, forgive me for desiring worldly pleasures that are shameful and unpure. Let me not neglect Your precious word. Renew my heart and mind to Your grace and love for Christ, my Savior. O God, draw me closer to You, for I know nothing can separate me from You. Your steadfast love pursues me.

O God, let my children I love become more faithful to You. Bring all of them to the throne of grace. Strengthen their mind and heart to love You more than anything else. Give them wisdom, discernment, and patience. Let our daughters and sons not perish at the hands of those who hate You. Oh my Lord, do not forget the prayer of Your servant, or I shall perish from grievance for my beloved children.

My praying friends, what have you read and learned from the Word of God this week? I’ve learned from Psalm 119: 49-56 that even if people or situations deplete me or mock my faith in God, I take comfort and strength in His Word. I want to remind Him of His promises in my prayers. Never be ashamed to present me to Him with a humble heart and ask Him for forgiveness for my iniquities.

Now it’s your turn to read and pray over Scripture:)
