"Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt." (Psalm 123:3)
I prayed this a while earlier for our nation and the global community. The Enemy, "who is a liar and the father of lies," is spreading what the Bible calls, "the lie." But Jesus Christ, Who Himself is, "the Way, the Truth, and the Life," sealed the enemy's doom in His Blood of the Cross, death and resurrection!
A friend of ours and I are heading out this morning for Washington, DC, to participate in "The Return." There is a gathering tonight from 18:00-21:00, and tomorrow from 09:00 to 21:00. A part of this will be a march, beginning at noon tomorrow, from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol Building, stopping along the way to pray at key sites. Any prayers appreciated.
Today is Psalm 121 to 125 day. I prayed Psalm 121 as follows: "I lift up my eyes to the hills--from whence comes my help? My help comes from You, Lord, Who made heaven and earth. You will not allow my foot to be moved (slip)....You, Lord, are my keeper (Protector); You are my shade at my right hand. The sun shall not strike me by day, nor the moon by night. You shall preserve (keep) me from all evil; You shall preserve my soul. You shall preserve (keep) my going out and my coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore." What a glorious prayer Book!!
Father, in Jesus' Name, I cannot pray it better. Amen.
