The Prayer Room: Praying for America, FR, and all who need it

June 24

The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

My times are in your hand.—He chose our heritage for us.—Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness; . . . make your way straight before me.—Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.—In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.—Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.—As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.—“The Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.”—Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Num. 10:33; Ps. 31:15; Ps. 47:4; Ps. 5:8; Ps. 37:5; Prov. 3:6; Isa. 30:21; Ps. 23:1, 2; Ps. 103:13, 14; Matt. 6:32; 1 Pet. 5:7

The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never,
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever.

Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.

In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

Thou spread’st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From Thy pure chalice floweth!

And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever.
—Henry W. Baker,1868

Habakkuk 2:20 But the Lord is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him.”

Evening

In him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily.—“I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.”—“I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with me.”

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh.—To us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. . . . But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.” . . . “Let all God’s angels worship him.”

King of kings and Lord of lords.

Zech. 13:7; Col. 2:9; Ps. 89:19; Isa. 63:3; 1 Tim. 3:16; Isa. 9:6; Heb. 1:3, 8, 6; Rev. 19:16

Ye armies of the living God,
With banner, shield and sword,
March onward, shouting as you go,
“No king but Christ our Lord.”

Refrain

All crowns be on His sacred head,
All worlds be at His feet,
All scepters in His mighty hand,
All tongues His praise repeat.

Salvation, glory, strength and power
Ascribe to Him alone,
Whose truth established firmly stands,
Eternal as His throne.

Refrain

Untraversed regions, boundless realms,
Their great first cause adore,
He rules in majesty supreme,
And reigns from shore to shore.

Refrain

March on, ye victors through His grace,
To Him your trophies bring,
Creator, Savior, Prophet, Priest,
Redeemer, Lord and King.
—Fanny Crosby

Wonderful Words of Life {Lyrics and Composer: Philip P. Bliss, 1874}

Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life,
Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life;
Words of life and beauty teach me faith and duty.

Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life,
Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life.

Christ, the blessed One, gives to all wonderful words of life;
Sinner, list to the loving call, wonderful words of life;
All so freely given, wooing us to heaven.

Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life,
Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life.

Sweetly echo the Gospel call, wonderful words of life;
Offer pardon and peace to all, wonderful words of life;
Jesus, only Savior, sanctify us forever.

Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life,
Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life.

The Lord Most High is Awesome;
He is a Great King Over All the Earth. (Ps.47:2)

Rev 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Psalm 144
My Rock and My Fortress
Of David.

144:1 Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
2 he is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.

3 O Lord, what is man that you regard him,
or the son of man that you think of him?
4 Man is like a breath;
his days are like a passing shadow.

5 Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down!
Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
6 Flash forth the lightning and scatter them;
send out your arrows and rout them!
7 Stretch out your hand from on high;
rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,
from the hand of foreigners,
8 whose mouths speak lies
and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 I will sing a new song to you, O God;
upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
10 who gives victory to kings,
who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.
11 Rescue me and deliver me
from the hand of foreigners,
whose mouths speak lies
and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace;
13 may our granaries be full,
providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our fields;
14 may our cattle be heavy with young,
suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; [12]
may there be no cry of distress in our streets!
15 Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

OH HOLY LORD, we rejoice before you.
You are steadfast, ever faithful, all powerful, almighty, Creator and King, Redeemer and Lord of Hosts.
We praise your Holy Name forever.
Be exalted Oh LORD.
Be glorified.
Amen.

My Soul was Blessed by the Lovely Midi I just Found of this Beloved Hymn:

No One Ever Cared for me Like Jesus {Lyrics & Composer: Charles Frederick Weigle 1932}

Iwould love to tell you what I think of Jesus,
Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true.
I would tell you how He changed my life completely;
He did something no other friend could do.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus;
There's no other friend so kind as He.
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me;
O how much He cared for me.

All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me;
All my heart was full of misery and woe,
Jesus placed His strong arms about me
And He led me in the way I ought to go.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus;
There's no other friend so kind as He.
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me;
O how much He cared for me.

Ev'ry day He comes to me with new assurance;
More and more I understand His word of love.
But I'll never know just why He came to save me,
Till someday I see His blessed face above.

No one ever cared for me like Jesus;
There's no other friend so kind as He.
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me;
O how much He cared for me.

Thank You, our Father, for Holding us; Thank You for Keeping us in Your Love. Our Hearts are Raised in Reverence to our Savior-King. We Worship You, our Abba, and Praise You in the Name of Your Son, amen.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
From Everlasting, and to Everlasting, amen. (Ps.41:13)

Revelation 15:4
Who will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

Psa 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Psa 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Psa 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Psa 34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

OH LORD, WHAT MORE ENCOURAGEMENT DO WE NEED THAN IS IN YOUR WORD TO FEAR AND LOVE YOU.
YOU ARE MIGHTY AND SWIFT TO SAVE, AND SURE TO DELIVER.
BLESSED ARE YOU, OH LORD OUR GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE, WHO BRINGS FORTH EVERY GOOD THING, THE RAIN ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST ALIKE.
WE PRAISE AND GLORIFY YOUR NAME.
MAY YOUR NAME BE PRAISED AND KNOWN AND LOVED AND FEARED IN ALL THE EARTH.

Lord of our life, God Whom we fear,
Unknown, yet known; unseen, yet near;
Breath of our breath, in Thee we live;
Life of our life, our praise receive.

Thine eye detects the sparrow’s fall;
Thy heart of love expands for all;
Our throbbing life is full of Thee;
Throned in Thy vast infinity.

Shine in our darkness, Light of light,
Our minds illumine, disperse our night;
Make us responsive to Thy will;
Our souls with all Thy fullness fill.

We love Thy Name; we heed Thy rod;
Thy Word our law, O gracious God!
We wait Thy will; on Thee we call:
Our light, our life, our love, our all.
—Samuel F. Smith, 1891.

LORD, this still evening, we settle our hearts on you.
Be our all in all.

Psa 116:1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Psa 116:2 Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

Psa 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.

Psa 116:7 Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Psa 116:8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;
Psa 116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

I Love the Lord; He heard my voice,
And owned my humble prayer:
He makes my broken heart rejoice:
He makes my soul His care.

When hosts of foes beset me round,
And threatened to destroy,
In Him the wished relief I found;
My heart revived with joy.

The pains of hell, and fears of death,
Encompassed me around;
To Him I cried with faltering breath,
And full deliverance found.

Long as I live, I’ll bless His Name,
And triumph in His Word;
By Him alone salvation came,
Who is the mighty Lord.

Trust ye the Lord, nor yield to fear;
On His rich love depend:
He will preserve you while you’re here,
And save you to the end.
—Joseph Proud (1745-1826)

The Valley of Vision

Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see Thee in the heights; hemmed in by mountains of sin I behold Thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive, that the valley is the place of vision.
Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest wells, and the deeper the wells the brighter Thy stars shine; let me find Thy light in my darkness, Thy life in my death, Thy joy in my sorrow, Thy grace in my sin, Thy riches in my poverty, Thy glory in my valley.
—from The Valley of Vision, A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions

Hi Polly,
That reminds me of a favorite hymn.....

http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/n/e/neartoth.htm

There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.

Refrain

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where we our Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God.

Refrain

There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God.

Praising God with you for His Merciful Grace! Your Posts are Beautiful Devotionals that are a Blessing in Every Way, Dear Servant of our Christ.

I'm Listening to One of my Favorite Midi's that Works on this Dial-Up from the Beloved Song by our Brother Keith Green.

Resurrection Song {Lyrics and Composer: Keith Green}

Hear the bells ringing
They're singing that you can be born again
Here the bells ringing
They're singing Christ is risen from the dead

The angel up on the tombstone
Said He has risen, just as He said
Quickly now, go tell his disciples
That Jesus Christ is no longer dead

Joy to the word, He has risen, hallelujah!
He's risen, hallelujah!
He's risen, hallelujah!

Hear the bells ringing
They're singing that you can be healed right now
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing
Christ, He will reveal it now

The angels, they all surround us
And they are ministering Jesus' power
Quickly now, reach out and receive it
For this could be your glorious hour

Joy to the world, He has risen, hallelujah!
He's risen, hallelujah!
He's risen, hallelujah, hallelujah!

The angel up on the tombstone
Said He has risen, just as He said
Quickly now, go tell his disciples
That Jesus Christ is no longer dead

Joy to the world, He has risen, hallelujah!
He's risen, hallelujah!
He's risen, hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

Glory to You, our Wonderful Redeemer and Lord!
In You is All our Salvation and Hope.
Our Heart's Desire is for You to be Glorified Forever!
We Love You, our Sovereign God and King.

All that He Makes and Does is Honest and True:
He Paid the Ransom for His People,
He Ordered His Covenant Kept Forever.
He's So Personal and Holy, Worthy of our Respect.
The Good Life Begins in the Fear or God.
Do that and you'll Know the Blessing of God.
His Hallelujah Lasts Forever! (Ps.111:7-10)

His commandments are not burdensome.

“This is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life.”—Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

“My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”—“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. . . . Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding. . . . Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.—Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.—I delight in the law of God, in my inner being.

This is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another.—Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

1 John 5:3; John 6:40; 1 John 3:22; Matt. 11:30; John 14:15, 21; Prov. 3:13, 17; Ps. 119:165; Rom. 7:22; 1 John 3:23; Rom. 13:10

Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Savior’s Name!
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder,
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame.
He has washed us with His blood,
He has brought us nigh to God.

Let us love the Lord Who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies,
Called us by His grace, and taught us,
Gave us ears and gave us eyes:
He has washed us with His blood,
He presents our souls to God.

Let us sing, though fierce temptation
Threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong Salvation,
Holds in view the conqueror’s crown:
He Who washed us with His blood
Soon will bring us home to God.

Let us wonder; grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store;
When through grace in Christ our trust is,
Justice smiles and asks no more:
He Who washed us with His blood
Has secured our way to God.

Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high;
Here they trusted Him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky:
“Thou hast washed us with Your blood;
Thou art worthy, Lamb of God!”

Hark! the Name of Jesus, sounded
Loud, from golden harps above!
Lord, we blush, and are confounded,
Faint our praises, cold our love!
Wash our souls and songs with blood,
For by Thee we come to God.
—John Newton, 1774

FATHER IN HEAVEN, LET YOUR WILL BE DONE IN OUR LIVES, YOUR WILL OF SALVATION TO THE UTTERMOST.

HELP US TO REMEMBER THIS IS YOUR WORLD, AND YOUR SALVATION AND THE LIFE YOU HAVE GIVEN FOR YOUR GLORY.
WE WILL REST IN YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS.
GREAT AND MIGHTY ARE YOU MOST HOLY AND LOVING FATHER.
BY THE POWER AND GLORY IN THE ONLY NAME IN WHICH IS SALVATION; JESUS!
