A Psalm and A Prayer
Psalm 80

Psalm 80

Leader: Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth. Stir up your might, and come to save us!

People: Restore us, O God. Let your face shine, that we may be saved.

Leader: Turn again, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven. Have regard for this vine, the stock that your right hand planted.

People: Restore us, O God. Let your face shine, that we may be saved.

Leader: Let your hand be upon the one at your right hand, the one whom you made strong for yourself. Then we will never turn back from you. Give us life, and we will call on your name.

People: Restore us, O God. Let your face shine, that we may be saved.

Heavenly Father, we live in troubling times, and we do not know what tomorrow will bring. You have told us not to worry, but to live one day at a time. You have told us to trust in You as we pray for our daily needs. Even so, You showed Joseph how to prepare and save for the future, so we pray that You would show us what to do as well. Increase our faith in Jesus Christ and the future He has promised, even as we pray in His name: “Our Father. . .”
