God, it is wonderful to
declare your steadfast love
in the morning and your
faithfulness by night,
whether in a quiet place
of solitude or
in a bustling crowd of
strangers,
whether breathed in
stillness
or sung in worship to
the
melody of harp and lute.
Teach us to pray for
those
who boldly preach your
gospel,
so through them, all may
comprehend
your power to heal
(though skeptics laugh)
and holiness and
steadfast love and faithfulness.

and your faithfulness by night,
to the music of the lute and the harp,

Eze. 36:23b
…and the nations shall know that I am the LORD, says the
Lord GOD, when through you I display my holiness before their eyes.
Eph. 6:19-20
Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be
given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am
an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may
declare it boldly, as I must speak.
Matt. 9:23-24
When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute
players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, “Go away; for the girl is
not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him.
