Oh Lord of all, King of the Universe, give us an awakening.
We ask you for it, so that you might be Glorified in these last days, and that we should no longer drowse and sleep.
I thank you for the praise and glory that your persecuted Church brings you.
I thank you that you will be ever with us today as we go.
We ask you urgently for help for those who are in difficulty. Wake Dave out of his sleep. Help the orphans and widows in their trouble.
I ask for our Daily bread today.
You are Good and your Mercy endures forever.
Let me not be like the man who, beholding himself in a mirror, turns and forgets what he sees, by forgetting your Word as I turn to my day's work.
I ask for a new infilling of your Holy Spirit for all in this prayer fellowship and for every church where we attend and for all our families, and for your entire Precious Body.
Help us be fully awake.
I ask this according to your will in Jesus' Name.

I Read this Paraphrase Today, and it is Wonderful!

"Your love, God, is my song, and I'll sing it! I'm forever telling everyone how faithful you are. I'll never quit telling the story of your love— how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has always been our lives' foundation, your fidelity has been the roof over our world. You once said, "I joined forces with my chosen leader, I pledged my word to my servant, David, saying, 'Everyone descending from you is guaranteed life; I'll make your rule as solid and lasting as rock.'"

God! Let the cosmos praise your wonderful ways, the choir of holy angels sing anthems to your faithful ways! Search high and low, scan skies and land, you'll find nothing and no one quite like God. The holy angels are in awe before him; he looms immense and august over everyone around him. God-of-the-Angel-Armies, who is like you, powerful and faithful from every angle? You put the arrogant ocean in its place and calm its waves when they turn unruly. You gave that old hag Egypt the back of your hand, you brushed off your enemies with a flick of your wrist. You own the cosmos—you made everything in it, everything from atom to archangel. You positioned the North and South Poles; the mountains Tabor and Hermon sing duets to you. With your well-muscled arm and your grip of steel— nobody trifles with you! The Right and Justice are the roots of your rule; Love and Truth are its fruits. Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God. Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do—they can't keep it quiet! Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us— you've been so good to us! We're walking on air! All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King!" (Ps.89:1-18)

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, Forever, amen. (Matt.6:13)
