PRAYING the Psalms

Good Morning, I am not sure how many of us are linking on to the blog with the busyness of summer. I am sure your lives are hectic!! My two oldest children are getting ready to take off for college, my 16 year old is excited to have the only extra vehicle to drive to school, my 11 year old is asking how many mornings he has to walk his Kindergarten aged sister to class while I sit here and wonder - "What's ahead?" It seems life is a constant journey of surrender and when I like something I want to keep it and hold on tight!!

This is where praying the Psalms have become a blessing for me. When I do not know what to pray or how to pray I open the Psalms. Today my prayer for my sons stepping into life searching for the Lord's purpose, my friends seeking answers in prayer, Grace Fellowship as we begin a new season and for myself as I wonder what this Fall holds is Psalm 121. Please pray with me. . .

I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let our foot slip-

he who watches over us, our children and our familes will not slumber;

Indeed, he who watches over our community and our world

will neither slumber nor sleep

The Lord watches over us

The Lord is our shade at our right hand;

the sun will not harm us by day

nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep us and our children from all harm -

he will watch over our life;

the Lord will watch over our coming and going

both now and forevermore.

AMEN

Thanks for praying with me this morning:) Love, Lissa
