A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 107

Psalm 107

Leader:  O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.

People: Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands.

Leader: Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.

People: Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

Leader:  Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love and for his wonderful works. He satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things.

People: Let those who are wise give heed to these things, and consider the steadfast love of the Lord!

Heavenly Father, Your steadfast love endures forever. We have seen Your love expressed in the lives of Your chosen people in the Scriptures. And we have experienced Your steadfast love in our very own lives. Even though they sinned, when they repented, You saved them from distress. Likewise, Father, we remember how You have forgiven us when we have returned to You in faith, repentance, and obedience. Help us share the good news of Your salvation with others, and hear us as we pray in Jesus’ holy name: “Our Father. . .”
