Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God
Reading : PSALM 95
Meditation : consider all that is said here… at the start of your day.
The LORD is a Great King.
Which words stay with you?
What is God saying to you from His Word about Himself?
And then Pray these words as your own this morning
Come, let us sing to the LORD!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
For the LORD is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
and the mightiest mountains.
The sea belongs to him, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land, too.
Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the LORD our maker,
for he is our God.
We are the people he watches over,
the flock under his care.
Amen!

LORD God, our great King,
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
For I believe and trust in You
My King and my God.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
