Prayer Wednesday

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
But we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Lord, this day we pray for the leaders of the nations. 

We bring to You our own elected leaders: our Prime Minister, our Premier, and our various Mayors.

You say that leadership matters. You told us to submit ourselves to governing authorities – because there is no authority except that which You have established. “The authorities that exist have been established by You.” 

We thank You for the women and men who help lead our country. We thank You for their lives. We ask Your blessing on them. We ask that they lead with wisdom and humility. We ask that You use them to bring Your Kingdom here and now. 

We also pray for our neighours to the south. We pray for unity for them. We ask that You settle them into the truth of Your love. We ask that the U.S.A. would be a force of peace and kindness to the nations. Bless and keep whichever candidate wins the election. And may Your Kingdom come.

Praying with you today.

Andrew

Psalm 129 is a bit of a nasty Psalm! The writer has been oppressed and doesn’t hold back in expressing what that feels like. You might think being a believer means your troubles disappear, but that has never been the case. The good news is that God is neither blind nor indifferent to our struggles.

Psalm 131 - The Psalms of Ascent have it all: anguish, anger, encouragement, and wild joy. Psalm 131 is all about contentment. Where does contentment come from? What ruins it? What does it feel like? How can I be content in an age where marketing, social media and mirrors breed discontent?

Psalm 133 - The Psalms of Ascent were songs for the journey—worshippers sang them as they travelled together toward Jerusalem and the Temple. These Psalms give voice to the sorts of things that go through worshippers' hearts as they prepare to worship.

Psalm 104 is a song of praise that marvels at the beauty and order of God’s creation. From mountains to seas, seasons to creatures great and small, it reveals a world sustained by His power and care.
