My Father, Who is in Heaven, Hallowed Be Your Name
Praise the LORD. [a]
Praise the name of the LORD;
praise him, you servants of the LORD,
2 you who minister in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
Psalm 135 1-3
I praise You, Lord for this week You are so good to us.
Better than we have a right to expect.
You are great, because we have a great God who loves us
And cares for all of our needs.
Thank you, dear Father for all of Your wonderful deeds.
You make Yourself still known to us even in a world
That does not regard You at all.
Though the earthquakes rattle the islands and the coasts,
And floodwaters and high winds pour over the lands,
The blizzard and great storms prolong our winters,
Causing us to long for the spring;
Just other ways to remind us all that You are still there,
That if we do not regard You, to acknowledge You
You will humble us, and break us so that we will learn
Never to put ourselves first or to deny You.
Yet, You display Your awesome work in the hearts of those
Who show Your compassion and Your love.
I bless You today as we go out and attend to those
Who need to see that great love of Yours.
Magnify Your love within my heart.
Let them see less of me and more of You
In a world that desires more excuses than answers
And refuses to be honest with itself.
Draw their hearts back to You, dear God.
Let them see the true emptiness of their ways.
Let those who seek to silence You
And those who try to still our mouths be confounded.
Keep them from prospering in their blasphemies, O God;
Til every face falls prostrate by Your feet, dear Lord.
O vanquish us, our conquering King!
Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done, On Earth, as it is in Heaven
