Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Our Father In Heaven,
Hallowed and Sanctified is Your Most Holy Name!
It Is You Who Made Us,
And Everything That Exists,
From the Giant Galaxies,
To The intricate DNA Molecule.
You Are The Great Designer,
And The Universe is Your Canvas!
1. LORD, remember David And all his afflictions;
2. How he swore to the LORD,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3. “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4. I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5. Until I find a place for the LORD,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Abba Father,
Your Servant David, the Sweet Psalmist of Israel,
A Man After Your Own Heart,
Wanted So MUCH to build a House For You!
"Why Should I live in a Palace," he said,
"While The King of The Universe lives in a TENT?"
Yet, because of David's sins,
You did not allow him to achieve this goal,
And had Solomon build Your Temple instead.
How Often do we ourselves set Great Goals
Of Wondrous Things We Intend to do for YOU,
When YOUR Will is To Dwell in The Sanctuary of Our Hearts,
And For us To Make OUR Bodies The Temple of Your Holy Spirit,
To Treat YOUR Creation With Dignity and Respect for Life,
Worshiping YOU, and not the THINGS that Your Hands Have Made.
6. Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of the woods.
7. Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.
8. Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
9. Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
10. For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.
Father, We Praise You Joyfully,
Everywhere we Find Ourselves!
We Worship at Your Footstool,
We Sing Of Your Glory!
We Thank You For Your Holy Word,
Which You Have meticulously preserved for us,
By Your Holy Spirit,
Through Your Jewish People.
We Pray For Them Now,
As We See the Whole World Turning on Them.
For Your Servant David's Sake,
Do Not Turn Your Face From Them!
11. The LORD has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.
12. If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
Thank You, Father,
For Your Word,
For Your Will,
For Your Promise,
For Your Messiah.
13. For the LORD has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14. “This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15. I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16. I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17. There I will make the horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
18. His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
We pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To The Will and Promise of God.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
Hallelujah and Amen
