Today’s prayer is taken from Psalm 19:
The heavens are telling the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of God’s hands.
There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard,
Yet their music goes out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world….
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
But who can discern their own weaknesses?
Acquit us, O Lord, from our hidden faults….
Let our fears not have dominion over us.
Then shall we become a beneficial presence,
Freely and fully surrendered to Your Love.
Loving God, may the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in Your sight this day.─AMEN.
(From Nan C. Merrill, Psalms for Praying, 1996, and the New American Standard Bible.)
