Psalm 145:5-7

Let’s continue to pray through Psalm 145

5 They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,

    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

Give my sons and daughters a glimpse into the glory of Your Kingdom, Lord.  Show them that this temporal life is just a shadow, a mist, a quickly passing moment.  Help them to see and understand that all that You have waiting for us is beyond comprehension.  The glorious splendor of Your majesty should stun and overwhelm us so that we are stopped short and without words, leading  us to meditate on your wonderful works.  May it be so, Lord.  May (name) pause today, overwhelmed by Your greatness and be  moved to awe-filled wonder and meditation on all You’ve done through the ages and in their own life.  Help (name) to meditate on Your word, filling their heart and mind with truth that will guide and guard them.

6 They will tell of the power of your awesome works,

    and I will proclaim your great deeds.

Lord, let (name) speak freely about Your greatness, Your salvation and Your deep love for each individual. Move them to tell others about their relationship with You.   Fill their mouth with praise for You so that others will see and hear and be drawn to follow You, Lord.  Let (name)’s life be a witness to the life-changing power of God and the joy and hope that You bring.  May (name) continuously share how marvelous You are and recount all the wonderful things You’ve done for them.  Don’t let them forget, Lord, and don’t allow them to be silent.

7 They will celebrate your abundant goodness

    and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

Celebrate!  It’s what we are called do as believers!  There is so much to be grateful for, Lord, yet too often we get distracted and discouraged by the darkness around us.  Help us to see and have perspective that You are good and what You do is good and that there is so much more provided for us than we realize. There is so much more waiting for us than this fallen, broken world could ever offer.  Open our eyes to witness Your hand at work every moment of the day, from a safe drive to work to the ability to get groceries or have a warm blanket. Lord, Your provision and protection are abundant.  The joy of being able to worship You freely and openly should move us to live and celebrate You joyfully and out loud!  Help (name) to celebrate Your abundant goodness…ABUNDANT goodness.  Help them to see that they are blessed and favored.  Put a song in (name)’s mouth and let their heart sing along today. I pray this all in Jesus’ precious name, amen.
