Joy

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King. Psalm 148:1-2 

Father, You are greatly to be praise, we sing praises to You this morning. We love You, help us to love You more. Let us know Your greatness and look to You first. Replace our hearts of stone with desire for You. We are Your people and we believe that You are the God who cares for us. Give us peace in our land and keep us from evil.  Bless our children and families with the humility to worship You and our great King. Give them a heart of praise and keep them from evil. Deliver them from the hand of the wicked one and show them the joy of praising our glorious Savior. Heal them and free them from addictions and show them the way of the righteous. We are asking again this morning, and we know that You hear and see from Your great mountain all that we do and speak. Guard them from evil. Be glorified in their lives. We thank You and we praise You.

 Bless Israel today, we know that You will preserve them, Bless them with the joy of the Lord and let them see Jesus with opened eyes. Keep them today and give them peace. Father, we repent and turn to You, let our nation stand with Israel and let us please You in all things. Give our country the opportunity to continue to spread the gospel and protect us from falling away and becoming apostate. We praise YO uin great joy and thanksgiving, You are our Joy

In Christ alone.
