A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 122

Psalm 122

Leader: I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!”

People: To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

Leader: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.”

People: “Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers.”

Leader: For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say, “Peace be within you.”

People: For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

Heavenly Father, we do rejoice that we can come into Your house today and worship You with those who love You too. Thank You for inspiring and leading Your people to establish Your house here in this place. We pray that all who worship here might experience Your love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. We pray for Your people all the world over, and we pray that they might prosper along with us as we serve You and others. May everyone who trusts in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior find and experience peace with God, others, and themselves. Through Your only begotten Son, we pray, “Our Father. . .”
