Prayer for Today, Saturday, May 17

O God our God,

We awaken to the beauty of Your creation all about us. Our morning prayer is, "Thank You". Today is a day filled with promise and hope. We celebrate our graduating seniors. Please pour out Your Spirit on them as they ponder the next part of their journey. We thank you for the approaching summer and opportunities for play and leisure. Help us to pause and make time for Sabbath, where our schedules are free and we can rest in the glory of Your Presence. All this we ask in Jesus name, AMEN.

Psalm 98

 

¹O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory.

²The Lord has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.

³He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.

⁴Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
