Prayer for Today, Tuesday, April 22

O Divine Presence,

 

We reflect on our celebration of Christ’s resurrection. Our hearts were filled with joy and hope as we witnessed the rededication of  Dean Bomholt and the baptisms of Hunter Evans, Camdon Smith, Sage Arnold, Emily Arnold, Ethan Lipsett,  Koby Cowherd, and Lexi Coup. Please surround them with your love and grace, O Lord. Now it is up to us to live into the life of Your reign on earth. Pour out Your spirit on us, we pray. May we be bold, courageous, and faithful in our witness to the new life that comes to us through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in whose name we pray, AMEN.

PSALM FOR TODAY

 

Psalm 33

 

⁴For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.

⁵He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

¹⁸Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,

¹⁹to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield.

²²Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

 

Grace and peace,

John McLemore
