Friday Prayer

 

Read Psalms 132-134

 

Prayer based on Psalms 132-134: God, You are my resting, residing, and refuge place.  How I long to linger and never leave You!  Yet, I have to get groceries and go to the doctor, so I am about to leave now.  Guide me, lead me, move through me, especially when other people have the gall to use the same road as me!  Especially when someone cuts in front of me.  Especially when the doctor is running 10 minutes late.  Especially when that person says something that hurts and harms me, and I struggle to live out forgiveness.  I long to live in harmony.  I know what it is like, O God, to sing in Your divinely diverse chorus.  I can still hear music over my head and in my heart from last Sunday.  But the sound diminishes to a whisper with each passing moment.  Drench me with Your presence and help me notice Your goodness and enough-ness of what has filled my life this week.  God, I know that Your blessing doesn’t just live on the cul-de-sac of my soul, You long to empower me to let loose with Your Eternal presence.  Go before me, leading the way.  Go beside me to help when I stumble and bumble.  Go behind me when fear says, “turn around”.  God beneath me when the road gets too rough and rocky.  Go above and within me, awakening me to Your goodness and grace and love that longs to author my life and sing through me this day.  Amen.
