Prayer & Praise
Psa. 2:1 Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
Psa. 2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
Psa. 2:7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
Psa. 2:10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Have mercy Father
Thank You God for our salvation, for the mercy You show us everyday. Thank You for Your Son giving His life for us.
Tho we bow our knee trembling before You, we come boldly before You asking for You to pour out Your mercy upon Your children. Cleanse them, heal them , be their rock and strong tower. Be their healing oil. Be their shelter in the storm. By Your Spirit guide and protect them.
God we need You today
Pour down Your Spirit upon us that we may know You are with us.
Remember our God comands an army of angels!
Surround us with Your arrmy Lord.
today my daughter and my grandson celebrate their birthdays – i celebrate with them, thanking God for them and for the redeemed of this nation today, in the spirit of the Psalm, i’ll just join with Brodersen:
“I pray God will grant us mercy and pour His Spirit upon us as we labor for Him, awaiting that blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Amen, my friend…and happy birthday to your family members.
