Praying Friends, today, let’s take Psalm 136 and make it our own prayer to the God whose steadfast love has endured in our lives from before we were born until we enter his joyous welcome in heaven.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. Psalm 136:1
God of gods, Lord of lords,
We give thanks to you, for you are good,
and your steadfast love endures forever.
We give thanks for the great wonders you alone can do:
[Name aspects of creation you are thankful for today (sun, moon, sea, stars, etc.).]
for your steadfast love endures forever.
We give thanks to you for striking down oppressive enemies:
[Name some specific ways God has defeated enemies in your life: think in terms of worldly or systematic evil, your own sin, and the devil.]
for your steadfast love endures forever.
We give thanks to you for countless rescues:
[Name some ways God has rescued you throughout your life.]
for your steadfast love endures forever.
We give thanks to you for the inheritance you have given us:
[Name some of the many blessings you have, both material and spiritual.]
for your steadfast love endures forever.
We give thanks to you for your faithful provision:
[Name some ways God has provided for your needs, physical and spiritual.]
We give thanks to you, the God of heaven,
for your steadfast love endures forever.
In Jesus’ faithfully loving name. Amen.
Read Psalm 136.
