Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8
Praise you, Lord, that as I face a busy week, I can go in your peace, in your strength, in your wisdom and self-control. I give this week over to you and ask that you will help me to be focused, to follow through with my “to do” list, to do first things first in a disciplined, Spirit-led way.
I give over to you the things that burden me, like being out late some this week. Help me to pace myself well and to go in your strength. Praise you for your presence, your power and your perspective.
“Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever” (Ps. 125:1).
I praise you, LORD, Yahweh, the great I AM, that you make us unshakable as we rest in the truth of who you are. You are the unchangeable One, the Almighty One, the Undefeated One, the Eternal One, the All-seeing One, the Righteous One, the Holy One, the Loving One.
You are ever at work, you are aware of all, you are constantly, consistently, compassionately arranging the events that come into my life. You are even able to take our mistakes and sins and somehow use them for good: chastening, correcting, counseling, changing us with them.
Praise you for the certainty of your work in my life today, for the certainty of your protection, presence and provision in each step, each moment, each interaction. I praise you for your going before me and preparing each event and relationship. I praise you, LORD, for you are worthy of trust.
“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore” (Ps. 125:2).
You, Heavenly Father, are far more stable than any mountain—you are always there, surrounding us with your love, grace and protection. Nothing can move you, remove you or shake you; you are sure, unchangeable, solid, reliable, and trustable. Your faithfulness has no end, your wisdom no bottom, your goodness no top, your power no measure.
You are worthy of praise for your great character: full-orbed, multifaceted, sparkling in purity, shining in goodness, balanced in integrity, perfect in fullness. You are faithful in your love, in your goodness, in your protection, in your wisdom, in your presence, in your power. We can rest in you, on you, by you, with you.
Prayer: “Today help me to exalt you in my responses, glorify you in my motives, lift up your name in my speech, please you in my actions. Help me to remember that no matter what my circumstances, your character is worthy of worship. Amen.”
