Psalm 89: 1, 11, 13-16, 52

1  I will sing of the LORD’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.

11  The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.

13  Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.

14  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.

15  Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

16  They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness.

52  Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, full of compassion and lovingkindness. Remember Your people and grant them Your salvation. We are living in total darkness as the coronavirus is spreading out of control. We can’t help but sing a lamentation to relieve our stress from suffering during this difficult time. But the sound of the wind chime set off by the morning breeze reminded us that You are in control of everything. You are the unchanging faithful Lord. Yes, the Lord who gives blessing in the past, the Lord who watches over us today, and the Lord who will never abandon us.

Lord Jesus, You are upright and just, and abhor what is evil. You do not tolerate sin but You take all sin upon Yourself. While we are drowning in the sea of sin You reach in and rescue us and give us a robe of righteousness. Other times we are like lose beads on the table rolling around involuntarily in the days of sloshing out. Then with Your nail- scarred hands You embrace us and not a single bead is lost. There is no temptation that the Lord will not provide a way out, and there is no weakness that the Lord will not sustain. You are always watching over us. Whatever circumstances we are in, good or bad, we put our trust in You for You care for us.

Holy Spirit who guides us to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. Help us to live a virtuous life that commensurate with righteousness, just and faithfulness. Let our lives be testimonies of integrity and kindness before the world so that the pleasing aroma of Christ will become the pillar of cloud and fire in the community, testifying God’s presence with us. God is trustworthy and His faithfulness lasts forever.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
