Psalm 137:1-7

1  By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

2  There on the poplars we hung our harps,

3  for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4  How can we sing the songs of the LORD while in a foreign land?

5  If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.

6  May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you,

if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

7  Remember, LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried,“tear it down to its foundations!”

Prayer

Almighty omniscient, omnipotent God,

As far as the east is from the west, so far does God remove our sins from us. Recalling past painful memories when we were living in sin, in darkness waiting for dawn to break. We cried all the time for not able to let go of the self-destructing stubbornness. Forgive us of our past failures. By faith we will get up to return home like the prodigal son.

Thank you, Lord Jesus. When we fell into the hands of demons that control our bodies, minds, and emotions, we lost everything. We were lying on the roadside, all wounded and near death; our dreams were dashed, hopes were shattered, and our bodies totally broken. Then You came along picking up the broken pieces of our lives with your gracious nail-pierced hands and molded us into a new vessel useful to the Lord.

Holy Spirit, pulverize the anger, hatred, resentment, and distress that have been ravaging us. Wash us with the living water of the Word, and reshaping our lives and characters, pleasing to God. Give us power to live a fruitful life that bears the fruit of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness and goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We look forward to the days of worshipping in Jerusalem and the days the coronavirus outbreaks.is under control. Let lives return to normal that we may once again exhibit faith, hope, and love as Christians live. Let others see in our daily lives the reflection of Jesus. We dedicate each day of our live to You.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!
