"O LORD, Who Made Heaven and Earth" - 10 March 2019



O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; you keep truth forever and execute justice for the oppressed. You give food to the hungry and freedom to the prisoners; you open the eyes of the blind and raise those who are bowed down; you watch over the strangers and relieve the fatherless and widow (Psalm 146).  It is to you we come!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. We pray for your whole Church on earth, including Christ’s Christian Church, Cherokee Hills Church of Christ, Deer Creek Church of Christ, and Draper Park Church of Christ. Fill her with all truth, in all truth with all peace. Where she is corrupt, purify her; where she is in error, direct her; where in anything she is amiss, reform her. Where she is right, strengthen her; where she is in need, provide for her; where she is divided, reunite her; for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son our Savior.  The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. Grant unto us, your children, that by your enlightenment our minds may savor and dwell on what is true and good, and under your merciful protection, may do what is upright, and be filled with joyfulness, peace, and hope. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

 O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. We pray for these… We ask you to restore them body and soul in Jesus Christ, give them your relief and comfort, and grant them noteworthy reasons to take heart. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. We remember those in the military, fire department, sheriff’s department, and the local police department…. Give them protection from their enemies, wisdom in the difficult situations, and good leaders. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. Take notice of the nations of the world. Tyranny, violence, slaughter, hunger, machinations and conspiracies abound. Give peace, O God, give peace in our time that all may dwell securely and successfully in their land and your Church be protected. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

O LORD, you made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. Hear us, O Lord, for our own beloved country. Rid our nation of unbelief and every godless custom; increase the number of those who are not ashamed to confess Christ with integrity of life and talk, who are not afraid to follow his way, that brotherly kindness and civility may abound, and that righteousness would flow from our homes and down our streets like a mighty river. The LORD shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD! We ask all this and more in Jesus’ name. Amen.
